[Presenter] Pakistan will not establish ties with Armenia since the
Nagornyy Karabakh conflict has not been resolved, Pakistani Interior
Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao, who is visiting Baku, has said. The
minister also said that his country and Azerbaijan intend to step up
the fight against terrorism and human trafficking.
[Correspondent] Pakistan is ready to support Azerbaijan at any level,
Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao has said. He said
that the aim of his visit is to expand cooperation between the
countries.
[Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao in English, with Azeri voice-over] I will
meet security and military officials of the country during the
visit. One of the main issues worrying us is the weakness of the two
countries’ joint fight against terrorism and trafficking in human
beings.
I hope that from now on, we will be able to step up our joint fight
against transnational crime.
[Correspondent] The Pakistani interior minister said that they were
ready to give Azerbaijan not only legal but all kinds of support. He
said that Islamabad would not establish any ties with Armenia as the
Nagornyy Karabakh problem has not been resolved.
