President mentioned that Bakir IzetbegoviÄ‡â€™s arrival in Azerbaijan is the first highest-level visit in the history of mutual relations between the states: â€œOur relations has great potential and prosperous future. I hope that the visit will become an important stage in the development of bilateral relationsâ€.
The Head of State noted the extension of the political dialogue and underlined that they discussed with Bakir IzetbegoviÄ‡ further prospects of economic cooperation between the states: â€œToday we have also discussed the regional situation. Of course, the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict remains a priority for us. Our country has been suffering from the Armenian invasion for a long time. International organizations, including the UN Security Council and General Assembly have adopted a number of resolutions on immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territory of Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, these resolutions havenâ€™t been implemented yet. The settlement of the conflict in the short run within the framework of the international law and territory integrity will be favorable for all states. Our countries have much in common. We have faced aggression, occupation and difficult situation. This also units us. Both pleasant memories of the past and the events that happened 20 years unite us. Thatâ€™s why we understand each other very wellâ€.
