Kuwaiti Undersecretary of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs hails Azerbaijan`s development
Baku, May 8 (AZERTAC). Undersecretary of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Asia Committee of the International Islamic Charitable Organization Adel Abdullah Al Falah has praised Azerbaijan`s development.
Speaking to Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the State Committee for Refugee and IDP Affairs, chairman of the Republican Commission for International Humanitarian Assistance Ali Hasanov, Dr. Al Falah said he was proud of Azerbaijan`s achievements.
On the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Kuwaiti Undersecretary said his country wanted the dispute to be solved as soon as possible. He said Kuwait wanted immediate return of the Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs to their homelands.
Dr. Al Falah said his country would always support Azerbaijan in all fields.
Mr. Hasanov praised humanitarian and charity projects conducted in Azerbaijan under Dr. Al Falah, saying he was honored with Dostlug (Friendship) Order by the Azerbaijani President for his services in 2010.
Mr. Hasanov spoke of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, saying: “Today we commemorate the anniversary of the occupation of Shusha, a holy land for the Azerbaijani people, the pearl of Azerbaijan, the conservatoire of the East…”
“Unfortunately the conflict still remains unsolved because of Armenia`s non-constructive position, the failure of the OSCE Minsk Group, which has been mediating the dispute for more than 20 years, to yield any concrete results, injustice reigning in the world, and superpowers` pursuing their own interests in the region.”
He provided an insight into what the Azerbaijan government had done to solve the problems of refugees and IDPs and improve their living conditions.
Mr. Hasanov said 82 state-of-the-art residential areas were built for refugees and IDPs in the country, saying more than 180,000 people were resettled there.
He praised the contribution of the Azerbaijani Office of Asia Committee of the International Islamic Charitable Organization to solving the problems of refugees and IDPs in the country.
