FM MAMMADYAROV: INDONESIA SIGNIFICANT IN AZERBAIJAN FOREIGN POLICY
Indonesia occupies a significant place in Azerbaijan`s foreign policy, the country`s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told the Jakarta Post`s Veeramalla Anjaiah who recently attended an international forum on the role of women in cross-cultural dialogue in Baku at the invitation of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
Mammadyarov stressed opening of Azerbaijan`s embassy in Jakarta in 2006 is a vivid evidence of this.
The Azeri FM also highly praised Indonesia`s supporting Azerbaijan`s stance on its conflict with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
“Indonesia`s efforts under the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) and other international organizations are also appreciated`` he said.
“Azerbaijan`s position on the settlement of the conflict has remained unchanged from the first day of talks. We see no other way but the withdrawal of the armed forces of Armenia from all the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, and the restoration of the sovereign rights of Azerbaijan in these territories...”
On economic relations between Azerbaijan and Indonesia, Elmar Mammadyarov stressed they “do not match the level of political cooperation, despite huge economic potential in both countries.”
