The Congressman said: "Numerous Congressmen of the USA highly appreciate courage and will of Azerbaijan in region. We consider important the cooperation of the United States with Azerbaijan in questions of developing natural resources and a number other important questions, including in the field of the international and energy security.

Several years ago I visited Russia during Beslan tragedy. The terrorism poses threat to all mankind, and therefore, we should be near to our friends.

Azerbaijan, in comparison with other neighboring countries, after gaining independence has reached unprecedented successes and development. If to remember history, to seize Azerbaijan and Baku was Hitler's main goal. Today Azerbaijan, certainly, is one of the major partners in global energy security of the United States.

We remember till now the problems we had in 1970 with the OPEC. Azerbaijan as alternative to OPEC partners is very important for national interests of the USA. I know that Azerbaijan, along with oil, possesses also considerable gas reserves. The Shahdeniz deposit is one of the major fields of gas in the world. Plans of Azerbaijan on diversification of oil and gas pipelines are very important. Thanks to energy supply of Azerbaijan, it becomes stronger not only security of the USA, but also our allies. Cooperation on maintenance of energy security of the Caspian basin is a basic direction of our cooperation. The position of Azerbaijan on diversification of energy corridors in region transforms Azerbaijan into the strategic partner and reliable ally.

I express gratitude to all organizers of this conference. I hope that all the participants will strengthen our relations by their real work. The union of the USA and Azerbaijan is very important today. Because after years our children will take interest in how we together overcame present difficulties. We live during such time that the terrorism problem is topical for all. It is, therefore, very important, that all who appreciate freedom and universalvalues, should join their efforts.

And finally, I want to note that in the USA we respect Azerbaijan and its people for courage they show in region. I hope that we will continue henceforth our work to give free and best life to our children".
