U.S. welcomes new Azerbaijan-Turkey transit agreement

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed the important energy agreements that Azerbaijan and Turkey have recently signed, the U.S. Department of State reported.

"I would applaud the recent signing by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan of a very important energy agreement," she said.

"We are exploring the ways the United States can help Turkey take advantage of advanced bond and capital markets in a way that would have been impossible only five years ago," Clinton said during a speech at the annual conference on the U.S.-Turkish relations in Washington on Oct. 31.
