“Italy is our very close friend and partner. Azerbaijan is very grateful to Italy for her very direct, a fair approach to the resolution of the conflict, which, as we know, was not easy to formulate, especially in the EU family, where there are very strong, powerful supporters Armenia, who always tried to put victims of occupation and occupation forces for one level. So this is a really important sign of cooperation, “said the head of state.

The President of Azerbaijan also stressed the fact that the visit of the Italian delegation to the liberated territories in Azerbaijan is considered as another support sign.

“Our political relationship is wonderful. We continue to be strong collaboration, and this cooperation was tested during the conflict. The visit of the Italian delegation to the liberated territories is considered by us as another sign of support. From the very first days of reconstruction, we invited Italian companies. We invited them Through the Embassy of Italy. We had previous contacts, because Italian companies have implemented large projects here – projects in the areas of petrochemistry, oil refining, construction, architecture. And we want to expand the presence of Italian companies. As I said after the war, we will invite companies from friendly countries. And it is natural, because the period of the war was for us a kind of indication of “Who is who”. War clarified everything, “said the head of state.
