ArmInfo.Belarus and Azerbaijan have many areas of cooperation, the countries have the warmest and closest relations. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the Chairman of Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan Oktay Asadov.
"We absolutely trust each other, we create joint ventures and trade with third countries, we are moving along with you further to the south, to the east, and we will adhere to this policy in the economy." Trade is growing, military-technical cooperation we do not conceal from anyone," Lukashenko said, the press service of the Belarusian president reports. The head of state mentioned that during his participation in the CIS summit in Sochi he had an exchange of views with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in various formats and they spent quite a long time discussing many issues of relations. "You will be surprised: together with the President of Armenia - the three of us, often making fun of each other, but in politics it is generally accepted, with a hint of solving certain problems." I know that you are a peace-loving people and, despite the problems in Karabakh , you have an absolutely peaceful position in this respect, therefore, as I said to the Minister of Defense (Zakir Hasanov-Ed.), we have nothing to justify ourselves in this or that state," the Belarusian leader said.
He noted that the parties are building their relations in accordance with the wishes of the peoples of Belarus and Azerbaijan, for the sake of their welfare. "We will follow the course that we have defined, and I am convinced that our parliamentarians will find their place in the implementation of this road map," concluded Lukashenko.
