A new life and revival process is underway in Karabakh.
Modern.az reports that this was stated by Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev during his speech to representatives of the diplomatic corps at Karabakh University.
He stated that this is the 21st visit of the diplomatic corps to the liberated territories of Azerbaijan: “The first visits of the diplomatic corps to the liberated territories began in November 2020. Today there are also veteran ambassadors who participated in previous visits, and they can see how Karabakh has completely changed and transformed over time.”
Hikmet Hajiyev noted that the main purpose of the visit is to demonstrate the realities in Karabakh and the reconstruction work carried out in the region: “A new life and revival process is underway in Karabakh. Unfortunately, for the last 30 years, Karabakh has been associated with war and conflicts. Yes, there is a difficult history behind it. We cannot deny history and the past.”
He emphasized that Azerbaijan focuses on the future and peace, without forgetting the pains of the past, including the Khojaly tragedy.
The Assistant to the President noted that good neighborly and peaceful relations with all neighbors are Azerbaijan's number one priority in official Baku's foreign policy concept.
Hikmet Hajiyev emphasized that due to the state of war, this had not been fully implemented.
“However, today I can say with satisfaction that Azerbaijan has friendly and good neighborly relations with all its neighbors, including the Republic of Armenia,” the Assistant to the President added.(APA)
