Guests included political analyst Alan Makovsky from Washington DC, political analyst Dr. Ahmad Shahidov from Baku, and international relations expert Barin Kayaoglu from Ankara.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the program, Ahmad Shahidov emphasized that U.S.\u2013Turkiye relations are not just a diplomatic issue for the South Caucasus, but a direct factor in security and stability. \u201cIf the U.S. and Turkiye act in coordination, tensions in the region decrease and stability takes root. If not, the vacuum will inevitably strengthen the influence of Russia or Iran,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Azerbaijan\u2019s cooperation with both Turkiye and the United States, Shahidov underlined that these ties offer unique opportunities for Baku: \u201cOur alliance with Turkiye is unshakable, but at the same time we cooperate with the U.S. in energy, security, and diplomacy. If the Trump\u2013Erdo\u011fan meeting brings the two sides closer, Azerbaijan can further strengthen its role as a trusted partner and a bridge between them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Shahidov also highlighted the importance of energy and strategic transport routes, stressing that the future of projects such as the Southern Gas Corridor and the Middle Corridor depends on U.S.\u2013Turkiye relations: \u201cIf these ties develop positively, Europe\u2019s energy security will be reinforced and the South Caucasus will emerge as a new strategic hub.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a
