STATEMENT OF AHMED NECDET SEZER, PRESIDENT OF TURKEY
Dear guests,
Esteemed media representatives,
On my behalf and on behalf of the Turkish people with the most sincere feelings I welcome the President of the Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev and delegation accompanying him, I am very happy to see in our country our friends and brothers. Dear Ilham Aliyev’s first visit to Turkey as the President is a new and important stage of the meetings consistently held between our countries at the highest level.
The kind feelings are known, which the Turkish people has for Azerbaijan. Friendly and brotherly relations between our countries, deep links between our peoples and strength, which they scoop from solidarity, day by day become stronger. There is no doubt that close cooperation of Turkey and Azerbaijan will proceed and henceforth.
Turkey watches closely the events occurring in region of South Caucasus, and gives great assessment to establishment of peace, stability and progress in the region. Problems existing in this region interfere with an establishment of the world, cooperation and stability. Turkey wishes immediate peace settlement of all problems on the South Caucasus, including the Nagorny Karabakh conflict, within the framework of territorial integrity of the countries and principles of international law. On forthcoming negotiations with President Ilham Aliyev all aspects of the Turkey-Azerbaijan relations will be discussed and opportunities of the further development of our relations in all spheres be considered. Besides, on negotiations we shall have exchange of views concerning regional conflicts.
Once again I want to tell the President of Azerbaijan, my dear brother dear, esteemed Ilham Aliyev and his esteemed spouse, the delegation “You are welcome!”
