July 7, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan and Albania created a very special dynamism in our bilateral ties based on friendship and mutual support.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev said about this in a press statement following an expanded meeting with President of Albania Bajram Begaj.

“We are actively working in international organizations, supporting each other, primarily in the United Nations and Islamic Cooperation Organization. At the same time, we are very grateful to Albania for supporting Azerbaijan in the organizations where Azerbaijan is not present,” he stressed.

“I already expressed my gratitude to Mr. President and the Government of Albania for support to Azerbaijan during the last year's Francophonie Summit, where there was an attempt by one member state of Francophonie to pass the paragraph and to include the paragraph into a final document - a paragraph of anti-Azerbaijani substance. And Albania was the country, which blocked that. And that was the demonstration of friendship, demonstration of strong commitment to basic principles of international law, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the countries. So even in the organizations, where Azerbaijan cannot defend itself, we have brother like Albania who did it. And we're very grateful for that,” President Aliyev emphasized.
