Uzbekistan is the fraternal country and a reliable ally for Azerbaijan. We are united by common roots, spiritual values, language, ethnic affinity, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told UzA in an interview.
“For centuries, our fraternal peoples have maintained warm relations and have deeply respected each other. Today, it is gratifying to see that our bilateral relations are advancing successfully on this solid foundation. Now, relations between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan have reached the highest alliance ties level,” Aliyev said.
According to him, Uzbekistan has always supported Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to fraternal Uzbekistan for its contribution to the restoration of Karabakh, in particular, for the construction of a school named after the great Uzbek scholar Mirzo Ulugbek in Fuzuli, where about 600 students are currently studying. Uzbekistan was the first country in the world to take the initiative to provide assistance in the reconstruction of the Karabakh region. We will always remember this as an expression of solidarity, friendship, and brotherhood between our countries and peoples," Aliyev said.
