"We have a lot of things in common. We were parts of big empires for centuries," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the official banquet in Bratislava, APA reports.
"We were together part of countries that were considered states of the socialist bloc. We were not independent. Our independence had very limited boundaries. And we became truly independent countries more or less at the same time, in the beginning of the 1990s. We had to build our independence, all the institutions, and our future ourselves from scratch. And now, when we look at the progress that Slovakia has achieved in a little more than 30 years, we see that this progress is generated by the strong will of your people, by your history, by your culture, and by your national identity. Today, when we visited the ancient castle together, which was very impressive, I once again realized the source of your energy, the source of your resilience, and the source of your ability to conduct an independent policy," the President noted.
