The media talked about the tourism industry in Azerbaijan - so we’re talking about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing spots, and airlines. All these have been built up through smart investment - investment dollars which come from capital funding, namely investment financial institutions. The government in Azerbaijan deserves no credit - Aliyevs are takers, not makers. The real makers are the investors, like Jahangir Hajiyev of the Bank of Azerbaijan. Hajiyev is a real capitalist, pro reform serious businessman. The U.S. trusts him and other business leaders more than the government. This is Azerbaijan’s true strategic strength.
