    President of Azerbaijan Republic Ilham Aliyev received at the
    Presidential palace Ukrainian Supreme Rada Commissioner on Human
    Rights Nina Karpachova on July 28.

    Having welcomed the guest, the Azerbaijani leader expressed
    satisfaction with successful development of Ukraine -Azerbaijan
    relations in political, economic and other spheres.

    Touching upon the results of his recent state visit to Ukraine,
    President Ilham Aliyev noted that it had shown once again both
    parties' adherence to strategic partnership.

    The Head of State pointed out that both Azerbaijan and Ukraine are
    relatively young states, and that the process of building an
    independent state requires more efforts in the spheres of politics,
    economy and the priority one of human rights protection. In this
    connection, President Ilham Aliyev stressed the importance of
    cooperation between the two countries' ombudsman institutes that,
    according to him, is the new element in the social life of
    independent states.

    The Azerbaijan President highly appraised the Azerbaijan-Ukraine
    human rights related cooperation in the framework of various
    international organizations, especially, the Council of Europe. In
    this context, the Head of State pointed to the importance of
    experience exchange and coordination of efforts in this direction,
    and expressed hope for development of cooperation between the two
    countries' ombudsman institutes in the future.

    Having thanked the Azerbaijani leader for the warm meeting,
    Commissioner of the Ukrainian Supreme Rada on Human Rights Nina
    Karpachova advised that on the first day of the visit the members of
    the Ukrainian delegation had visited the tomb of nationwide leader
    Heydar Aliyev and his spouse Zarifa khanum.

    She also passed on greetings and best wishes from the President of
    Ukraine Leonid Kuchma to the President of Azerbaijan.

    Noting the rapid dynamics of social and political life in the
    country, the guest emphasized the importance of continuation of the
    nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev's political course aimed at
    sustainable development of Azerbaijan.

    Mrs. Nina Karpachova especially focused on her expected meeting with
    refugees. Describing the hard living conditions of over million
    people as a humanitarian catastrophe, the Ukrainian ombudswoman noted
    that her country had always supported territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan with respect to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    She also stated that anticipated signing of bilateral agreement on
    ombudsman institutes cooperation would open a new page in the history
    of relations between the two countries in the sphere of human rights
    protection.

    Stressing active involvement of 500-thousand Azerbaijani Diaspora in
    socio-political life in Ukraine, Mrs. Karpachova thanked the
    President for the constant attention and care about representatives
    of the Ukrainian Diaspora in Azerbaijan.

    She also expressed gratitude for the care about the crew of the
    Ukrainian aircraft crashed in spring in Baku.

    Azerbaijan Republic Mrs. Elmira Suleymanova.
