"It is very important for us that the Joint Declaration notes the
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh
issue and stresses the importance of a solution to the conflict based
on international law"
Baku-APA. "Welcome to Azerbaijan. Glad to see you in our country. I
believe that your visit will give an additional impetus to the
development of relations between our countries," said Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev at the press conference after a meeting with
Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, APA reports.
The Head of State noted that Bulgaria is one of reliable partners for
Azerbaijan in Europe: "We have just signed a joint declaration, which
covers various areas of our cooperation. It confirms the high-level
dialogue between two countries and mutual support in international
organizations. It reflects the areas of economy, energy and culture.
At the same time, it is very important for us that it notes the
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh conflict
and the importance of resolving the conflict only on the basis of
international law that is based on the principles of territorial
integrity, sovereignty and inviolability of state borders and
the relevant resolutions of the Security Council UN. We express
our gratitude to Bulgaria for its position based on justice and
international law. "
Aliyev said that during the meeting they discussed all aspects of
cooperation: "I believe that all the debated issues will be resolved.
Much has already been done, but there is still more to do. Cooperation
between our countries is a significant part of our bilateral
relations. Tomorrow we will participate together in the historic
event. The ceremony of laying the foundation of the Southern Gas
Corridor will be organized. It will be a new chapter in Europe's
energy security and will allow Azerbaijan to transport its natural
resources to European markets. I am glad that Bulgaria is a member
of the Southern Gas Corridor project. This is an important project
for us and for Europe. Azerbaijan will be able to transport gas to
Bulgaria, and in the future through the territory of your country to
other countries. We will hold intensive consultations and coordination
on the issue of energy security in the coming years. Since tomorrow we
begin concrete work involving many countries. Here arises the need for
coordination and proper planning of our steps. We are committed to the
timely and highly profitable project implementation of the Southern
Gas Corridor, and I have no doubt that it will be so. At the same
time we will be able to consider other projects in the energy sector,
and today, we discussed it. There are investment opportunities, the
ability to work in the construction sector and other various fields
in a trilateral format. In short, our cooperation in the energy
sector will create more opportunities for our companies in important
projects. "
The Head of State also noted that the parties discussed the issue
of mutual investment: "We welcome the investment from Bulgaria to
Azerbaijan and from Azerbaijan to Bulgaria. I am sure that it will
also give an additional impetus to our cooperation. In addition,
I have invited Bulgarian companies to Azerbaijan via Mr. President.
Here, they can invest in various infrastructure projects, in addition,
the Bulgarian companies can work in our country as contractors. In
short, the high level of political relations is very warm and friendly
relations provide the business community an excellent opportunity
to enhance cooperation. Mr. President, once again I thank you for
being with us in such a historic moment. Tomorrow we will celebrate
the event, which is very important for the development of the energy
sector of Azerbaijan. Once again I welcome you, I believe that our
cooperation will continue. "
