Adams adviser Frank Carone meets Azerbaijani official to talk 'geopolitical issues,' unnerving human rights observers
"Privilege to discuss geopolitical issues with [Hikmet] Hajiyev, COS to President [Ilham] Aliyev of Azerbaijan at the Presidential Palace."
"We kept the conversation at a high level discussing how the city will host Formula 1 next September and of course their hopes for peace in the region with their neighbors."
Frank Carone, Mayor Eric Adams' political confidant, recently met Hikmet Hajiyev, chief of staff to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, to discuss geopolitical issues. The meeting, held at the presidential palace in Baku, occurred as Carone prepares for his 2025 reelection campaign. He stated the discussion focused on both local events, like the upcoming Formula 1 in New York City, and regional peace hopes. Carone also launched a consulting firm, Oaktree Solutions, and cited business ties to the region, although he did not disclose client details nor his discussions with Adams regarding the meeting.
