‘Azerbaijan and Pakistan are brotherly countries’
Baku, January 24 (AZERTAC). “Azerbaijan and Pakistan are brotherly countries,” said Charge d`affaires of Azerbaijan in Pakistan, Dashgin Shikarov in his interview to Daily Times newspaper.
He stressed “Azerbaijan will continue to support Pakistan`s fair stand on Kashmir issue at all international forums and hope that UN would try to resolve this longstanding issue between Pakistan and its neighboring country as per its mandate”.
“Pakistan was the second country which recognized independence of Azerbaijan after Turkey in 1991. We highly respect and appreciates that Pakistan has always emphasized on Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity and condemns Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent 7 districts and denies recognizing Armenia because of its internationally criminal actions. Azerbaijan also completely supports Pakistani position on Kashmir issue and is in favor of the UN resolutions affirming Pakistan`s fair view,” underlined Mr. Shikarov.
The diplomat also recalled Azerbaijan`s aid to Pakistan during the earthquake and floods happened in the country in 2005 and 2010 respectively.
“We will try to do our best to further promote political, economic and humanitarian relations between the countries,” added Mr. Shikarov.
