The meetings held during the visit and the messages delivered are being widely analyzed in the context of the regional peace process, security architecture, and the interests of major powers.<\/p>\n<p>The issue was also discussed on ARB24 television. Political commentator Ahmad Shahidov stated that U.S.\u2013Azerbaijan relations have entered a new phase. According to him, energy security, transport and communication projects, and regional stability are among the main reasons why Washington attaches special importance to cooperation with Baku. \u201cAzerbaijan is now a key actor in the region, and the United States is taking the new realities into account,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Shahidov also emphasized that one of the main priorities of U.S. policy in the South Caucasus is achieving lasting peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In his view, ensuring stability in the region serves the interests of both regional states and global powers, and the current diplomatic activity may provide additional momentum toward the signing of a peace agreement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/arb24_11.02.2026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large
