Azeri foreign minister, Spanish MPs discuss ties

During a meeting between Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and a delegation of Spanish parliamentarians, the two sides discussed ways of boosting bilateral relations.

The meeting, which was held on February 6, discussed prospects for developing cooperation between the two countries in the political, economic, cultural, agricultural, sport, and educational fields.

Addressing the meeting, Mammadyarov said Azerbaijan shows a particular attention to expanding its relationship with Spain and stressed on the importance of increasing the number of high-level reciprocal visits, and expanding the interparliamentary cooperation.

The foreign minister also informed the Spanish delegation about the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, saying Armenia still continued to ignore the resolutions of international organizations, particularly four resolutions of the UN Security Council.

Head of the Spanish delegation Jose Maria Chikio, in turn, said they were aware of Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan, including the Khojaly genocide and the problems of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs.

He expressed regret over the fact that the resolutions of the international organizations demanding an unconditional and immediate withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from Azerbaijan's occupied lands had not yet been fulfilled.
