Obama Reassures Aliyev Over Armenia-Turkey Thaw

April 08, 2009
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has had better weeks.

Now, Obama has given him a call to make him feel better. From a White House press release:

The President had a good conversation with President Aliyev. He reaffirmed U.S commitment to a strong relationship with Azerbaijan and to supporting progress toward a resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The President also underscored the importance of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, which will lead to greater peace and security in the region.

Is this "Group-Hug Diplomacy" in practice?

About This Blog
Written by RFE/RL editors and correspondents, Transmission serves up news, comment, and the odd silly dictator story. While our primary concern is with foreign policy, Transmission is also a place for the ideas -- some serious, some irreverent -- that bubble up from our bureaus. The name recognizes RFE/RL's role as a surrogate broadcaster to places without free media. You can write us at transmission+rferl.org
