STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN ILHAM ALIYEV
Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Dear Mr. President, once again I welcome You in Azerbaijan.
Official visit of President of the Republic of Bulgaria Mr. Parvanov represents great value to Azerbaijan. We with deep impatience waited for this visit. And are very glad, that visit passes successfully. The negotiations carried out by us once again testify that relations between two countries develop and our links become stronger. I am convinced that after the current visit, our cooperation in the field of politics, economy, culture and all other spheres becomes even stronger.
From the political point of view, our countries are very close to each other. We successfully integrate into the European and Euro-Atlantic structures, and in this sense, our mutual relations develop also in positive direction. Bulgaria as chairman of OSCE plays extremely active role in settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorny Karabakh conflict, and we are very glad that as a result of this activity during negotiations there can be new motions.
Great potential exists and in economic sphere, however, it is involved not completely. But I hope, that after present visit economic relations between our countries will develop.
Session of the intergovernmental joint commission has been carried out, and the decision on creation of working group adopted. I hope that due to activity of the Commission, and also negotiations of the numerous Bulgarian businessmen who have arrived today in Azerbaijan with the Azerbaijan colleagues, we can achieve great successes and in the field of economy.
The economy of Bulgaria and Azerbaijan promptly and dynamically develops. Certainly, the economic potential in process of strengthening will allow us to achieve further acceleration of economic relations between two countries and will bring big advantage to both sides. I hope that activity of embassy of Azerbaijan, which will shortly open in Bulgaria, also will bring in great contribution to our common cause.
I want to note that our negotiations as in private, and in the expanded structure, have passed in very warm conditions. We have discussed wide enough spectrum of questions. And have discussed mutual relations, questions of regional cooperation and, certainly, had exchange of views on the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorny Karabakh conflict. It is very glad, that fine relations developed between us, sincerity will allow us to achieve a new level of relations between our countries.
Dear Mr. President, once again I welcome You in Azerbaijan. I am certain that the successfully begun present visit as successfully and will end. Due to your visit, two countries become even closer to each other.
