In the U.S., intensive discussions on the forthcoming presidential elections to be held this autumn in Azerbaijan began. As the site “Avropa.info”, in discussions of government and the U.S. State Department is attended by representatives of well-known American KBR, the Jewish lobby and the representatives of State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR).

According to the site, an interesting factor is participation of KBR in those discussions, as it is engaged in oil and gas business and has a share in many countries engaged in oil production, however, in the oil sector of Azerbaijan its representation is low. The company is also known by its being implicated in corruption and domestic scandals in countries where it is doing a business.

For example, former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney was the person involved in a corruption scandal in Nigeria. There were evidences of the fact that in 90s a subsidiary of Halliburton Company KBR and its consortium partners have spent $ 180 million on bribing Nigerian officials. The company has been accused of paying bribes to officials in Nigeria in the amount of $ 180 million for receiving a contract of 4 billion in order to build a gas processing plant in the country.
