"Uzbekistan has consistently supported the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Uzbekistan National News Agency (UzA), APA reports.
"Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude to fraternal Uzbekistan for its contribution to the restoration of Karabakh, in particular for the construction of a school named after the great Uzbek scholar Mirzo Ulugbek in liberated Fuzuli where approximately 600 students are currently studying. Uzbekistan was the first country and President Mirziyoyev was the first among world leaders to put forward the initiative to provide assistance in the restoration of the Karabakh region. We will always remember and regard this action as a symbol of solidarity, friendship and brotherhood between our countries and peoples," the head of state noted.
