    Aliyev receives Slovakian FM On March 15 Azerbaijani President Ilham
    Aliyev received a delegation headed by Slovakian FM Miroslav Lajcak.

    The head of the state said that Lajcak's visit to Azerbaijan will open
    great prospects for most spheres of cooperation between Azerbaijan
    and Slovakia, according to AzerTaj.

    President Ilham Aliyev also noted that there is a good potential and
    mutual interests for these goals to come true.

    Lajcak said Azerbaijan is one of the leading states in terms of the
    region, policy, economy and energy sense. He also noted that the main
    aim of the visit is the intensification of bilateral relations.

    Earlier Azerbaijan`s Minister of Foreign Affairs Elmar Mammadyarov
    met Slovakian counterpart Miroslav Lajcak to exchange views on the
    two countries` bilateral relations.

    Speaking to a post-meeting press conference, Lajcak said Slovakia
    was interested in cooperation with Azerbaijan in a variety of fields.

    'We, in particular, want to cooperate in energy, agriculture,
    construction of power stations and environmental protection. We
    discussed energy security with my Azerbaijani counterpart, and we
    are well aware of the important role Azerbaijan plays in this field,'
    Lajcak added.

    Mammadyarov said they discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
    cooperation within the Eastern partnership program.

    Slovakia`s foreign minister Miroslav Lajcak reaffirmed his country`s
    support for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

    Lajcak commented on the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    as he talked to journalists in Baku. 'Slovakia`s position on the
    issue is clear.'

    'We support peaceful settlement of the conflict based on the principle
    of internationally recognized territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,'
    Lajcak added.
