Member of Bundestag commission on foreign policy and defense, deputy
chairman of Christian-democratic party of Germany, Andreas Shokenhof,
declared it at the meeting with Milli Mejlis chairman, Oktay Asadov,
on August 22. At the meeting attended by his commission colleague,
chairman of PACE Monitoring Committee, Eduard Lintner, chairman of
German-Azerbaijan forum, Otto Hauzer, Bundestag commission member on
education and researches, Aksel Fisher, etc. Oktay Asadov spoke of
ancient history of Azerbaijani-German relations, having stressed that
after gaining independence by Azerbaijan our relations started more
intensive development. Having underlined that currently friendly
relations, economic, political connections between two states have
reached the highest level, MM chairman specially stressed the role of
visit of President, Ilham Aliyev, to Germany that took place last
February, in development of mutual cooperation.
Then Asadov informed guests in details on reforms implemented in our
country, major directions of foreign policy, Armenian-Azerbaijani,
Nagorni-Garabagh conflict. He stressed that though OSCE Minsk Group
has been working on regulation of this conflict for many years, due
to destructive and aggressive position of Armenia the problem hasn’t
been solved yet. Leading world states, international organizations
should make pressure on Armenia in this respect. We are convinced
that after just solving the most serious problem of Azerbaijan, that
is the problem of Nagorni Garabagh, Germany will promote the program
on restoration of this territory.
Andreas Shokenhof underlined that Germany welcomes and supports
policy of Azerbaijan; he said that Azerbaijan is on the right way.
Having touched upon Armenia-Azerbaijani, Nagorni-Garabagh problem
German guest declared that his country supports position of
Azerbaijan in this respect. A. Shakenhof once again stressed that
Nagorni Garabagh is integral part of Azerbaijan and conflict should
be regulated peacefully within the frames of territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan.
Intensive development of relations between Bundestag and Milli Mejlis
was pointed out at the meeting and activity of Azerbaijani-German
inter-parliamentary work group was highly evaluated.
