Speaker hails co-op between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in all areas

"Cooperation between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan is successfully developing in all areas," Milli Majlis Speaker Sahiba Gafarova said at a meeting with Uzbek Senate Speaker Tanzila Narbayeva, Report's Russian bureau informs.

She stressed the high level of relations between the two countries, noting that the documents signed between the two countries form a solid legal framework for cooperation. The Speaker of the Milli Majlis stressed that the Presidents' mutual visits and the talks played an essential role in bringing the relations to the current high level.

Gafarova stressed that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is already in the past for Azerbaijan and that during the 44-day war, under the leadership of the President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the country's Armed Forces liberated the lands occupied for 30 years. The Speaker of the Milli Majlis informed about the construction work carried out in the liberated areas. She voiced regret that despite all the calls, Armenia refuses to provide Azerbaijan with maps of mined areas, in gross violation of the principles of international humanitarian law.
