Kuwait backs Azerbaijan in Karabakh conflict settlement process

Kuwait supports and will continue to support the just position of Azerbaijan in the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said speaker of Kuwaiti parliament Ali Fakhdi al-Rashid at the meeting with the ambassador of Azerbaijan to Kuwait Tural Rzayev.

The Azerbaijani diplomat on behalf of the speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ogtay Asadov congratulated Ali Fakhdi al-Rashid on new appointment.

He said that Azerbaijan attaches great importance to the development of cooperation with Kuwait as the historical, religious and cultural proximity creates the appropriate conditions for the development of bilateral relations.

The parties also emphasized a special role of interparliamentary groups in the development of inter-parliamentary relations. The ambassador briefed the speaker of the Kuwaiti Parliament on a stable socio-political situation in Azerbaijan, the successful implementation of socio-economic reforms, scientific and technical potential, economic development and the oil strategy.

On the most painful problem for Azerbaijan, Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Tural Rzayev stressed that during the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenian armed forces, presumably one million Azerbaijanis have been ethnically cleansed from their native lands, and thousands of Azerbaijani cultural and historical monuments, including of Islamic heritage were devastated and looted.

Speaker of the Kuwaiti Parliament was presented with a copy of the document on recognition of Khojaly genocide, which was adopted at the 39th session of the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and a book "Khojaly genocide".
