Azerbaijani Deputy FM meets Turkish Middle East Technical University students
Baku, May 1 (AZERTAC). Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov has met students and academic staff of international relations faculty of the Turkish Middle East Technical University (METU).
Azimov spoke of Azerbaijan`s history since the country`s restoring its independence in 1991.
The Deputy Minister highlighted the important geopolitical position of Azerbaijan, as well as Armenia`s aggressive policy against the country. He said that despite being subjected to Armenian aggression and facing difficulties caused by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan reached progress in all fields.
Azimov told METU students that Azerbaijan would further develop due to strategic regional and international projects. “However, Armenia has been pulled into economic, demographic and social catastrophe, as it continues to keep Azerbaijan`s lands under occupation.”
The Deputy Foreign Minister also touched upon activities of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Middle East Technical University is founded under the name of "Orta Doğu Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü" (Middle East High Technology Institute) on November 15th, 1956 to contribute to the development of Turkey and Middle East countries and especially to train people so as to create a skilled workforce in the fields of natural and social sciences.
