“The Arab Republic of Egypt has broad knowledge of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict and Cairo fully supports Azerbaijan’s efforts to
publicize the occupation fact to the international community,” said
Usae Ilbaz, political aide to Egypt’s President Hosnu Mubarak at a
meeting with Azerbaijani delegation at Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
Mr.Ilbaz said that official Cairo is ready to deploy different
delegations to Azerbaijan to promote raising much more awareness in
Egyptian public on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
“Do not feel offended for our parliamentarians lacking broad
information on the conflict during the meeting at Egyptian
parliament. Most of our parliamentarians are interested in the
problems that concern Arab world mainly. We can deploy different
delegations to Baku to familiarize with Azerbaijan’s stance and have
much knowledge of the truths on its problems. Everybody knows that
there is instability in the world, systems are changing and problems
are emerging. After the September 11 events, the international
community has thought of Islam religion as a threat to the world.
This opinion is absolutely wrong,” the presidential aide noted.
Mr.Ilbaz also aid he gained large impressions about our country by
his short-term visit to Baku.
“I have been to Azerbaijan recently, got chance to familiarize with
your country. My 48-hour stay in Baku was enough to get acquainted
with your culture. I was deeply impressed by your rich culture and
hospitability,” Ilbaz stressed.
The presidential aide also reported that Egyptian large delegation
will visit Azerbaijan soon. This visit will be important from the
aspect of drawing up a wide report o Azerbaijan and problems it
faces. Stating that the official Cairo supports the settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh, Usame Ilbaz stressed that no conflict has ever
brought dividend to the parties.
“I assure you that no parties to a conflict win anything. Egypt is
ready to take steps in level of international organizations for the
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, and supports
Azerbaijan’s efforts in this field,” Mr.Ilbaz concluded.
