Baku, August 30, AssA-Irada
The Upper Garabagh conflict was the focus of the meeting of Akira
Amari, head of the Japanese-Azerbaijani inter-parliamentary friendship
league, with Speaker of the Milli Majlis (parliament) Murtuz Alasgarov
on Monday.
Alasgarov expressed his disappointment by Armenia’s ignoring four
resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council and double-standard
approach of some countries to the issue.
Voicing his satisfaction with Japan’s position on the Upper Garabagh
conflict, Alasgarov restated that Azerbaijan will never give in an inch
of its territory. The Speaker said that Japan has financed 65 projects
implemented in Azerbaijan so far and appreciated the services of
Japanese Ambassador to Azerbaijan Toshiyuki Fujiwara in this respect.
Amari, in his turn, underlined that the Japanese government will
take care of the Azerbaijani refugees until they return to their
native lands.
Touching upon the Upper Garabagh conflict, Amari stressed that his
country supports Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and backs the
peaceful settlement of the conflict.*
