The Hill: A First Ladies cancer summit: Obama and Aliyeva
The Hill
S.R. SOBHANI
Thursday, January 19, 2011
The last summit between the U.S. and Azerbaijan occurred in September of 2010 between President Obama and President Ilham Aliyev. The topic of conversation between these two young leaders was undoubtedly Azerbaijan's contributions to the war on terrorism, highlighting Azerbaijan's critical link in the Northern Distribution Network -- the supply line that delivers food and fuel needed by U.S. and NATO military forces in Afghanistan and the uninterrupted flow of Azerbaijan's energy resources to the international markets. This secular Muslim nation of 8 million is a key player in the West's energy security as Europe attempts to diversify away from Russian natural gas exports.
Unfortunately, what was not discussed is a topic equally important in saving lives; namely, the war on cancer. And here is where a White House summit between Michelle Obama and Mehriban Aliyeva can bring renewed energy, focus, funding and moral conviction to the fight against cancer.

Cleopatra, queen of ancient Egypt, bathed in asses’ milk for the good of her complexion, but here in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, an even more surprising treatment is on offer.
