The friendly relations enjoyed by our countries are the legacy of Heydar Aliyev’s determination and leadership. This includes our close cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Heydar Aliyev laid the foundation of the long-term economic prosperity of Azerbaijan with his continuous contributions. He worked a lot for the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The United States will continue to develop relations on this solid foundation and will support the sovereignty, prosperity, and democratic development of Azerbaijan.
