    Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev visiting Slovenia today had a

    bilateral relations and international issues. Following the meeting

    our countries. There exist opportunities to develop cooperation
    in political, economic and cultural spheres. We can also take an
    active part in the project of forming future Europe. I am hopeful
    for Azerbaijan's future EU membership and its full integration into
    Europe. I believe the Nagorno Garabagh conflict will be resolved in a
    peaceful way in this context. This problem will be solved by mutual
    agreement. We know that this dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    has lasted long. I hope both countries will make joint efforts with
    the European Union to cope with difficulties. Slovenia is ready to
    help Azerbaijan by all possible means," Mr.Drnovseki said.

    developing very speedily, and this visit will give impetus to further
    development.

    "There exists a potential to continue the successful cooperation
    between our countries. At the same time, we are interested in Slovenia
    as EU member country. I want to note that Azerbaijani hero Mehdi
    Huseynzadeh fought shoulder to shoulder with Slovenians against
    fascism and was buried in Slovenia," Mr.Aliyev said.

    President Aliyev said, Azerbaijan's position bases on international
    law norms.

    "Azerbaijan's territorial integrity has been violated. Armenia is
    pursuing ethnic cleansing policy against Azerbaijan, which resulted
    in over one million Azerbaijanis becoming internally displaced
    persons. What Azerbaijan demands is to resolve the conflict within
    international law norms," he underlined.
