"Real friendship manifests itself precisely in difficult moments. The [Second Karabakh] war showed who, which countries are the true friends of Azerbaijan. We are a people who value friendship," said yesterday during a meeting with a delegation led by the Deputy Chairman of the Italian Chamber of Deputies Ettore Rosato President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
According to him, the recovery period is now beginning, and Azerbaijan has invited to participate in the recovery not only its own, but also companies of friendly countries, in particular Italy: “Italy is the first trade partner of Azerbaijan. Last year our trade turnover reached $ 6 billion. part of it relates to energy resources ... In the coming years, a special weight in our relations will also belong to the non-oil sector. As for the energy sector, as you know, the TAP project will be put into operation in the near future, which will undoubtedly further strengthen the Italian -Azerbaijani ties ".
According to Ilham Aliyev, "now a new period is beginning in our country, we will rebuild all these regions. The first steps are already being taken, the first infrastructure projects have been launched." "The picture that you saw in Aghdam is observed in all the liberated lands. Not a single surviving building remained either in the city of Fizuli or in the city of Jabrayil. Zangilan and Gubadli are in the same condition. In the Kalbajar and Lachin regions, the Armenian state pursued a policy of illegal This is also considered a war crime, an action contrary to the Geneva Conventions ... Some houses in a number of settlements have survived. Armenians lived there. However, from November 10 to December 1 - during this period of time they had to leave these regions - they committed barbarism and there, they burned down, destroyed the houses. Although these houses were not built by them, but by the Azerbaijanis who lived there until that time - 30 years ago. They burned the forests, cut down the trees, that is, they committed vandalism in front of the whole world, "the president said. Azerbaijan.
According to him, international media structures have also prepared and distributed reports on this. Today the whole world saw what vandals faced Azerbaijan, which, single-handedly waging a war with these vandals, restored its territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, according to Ilham Aliyev, Baku and Rome have projects in the humanitarian sphere: “Within the framework of my state visit to Italy, cooperation in the field of education was also discussed. We came to an agreement on the establishment of an Italian-Azerbaijani University. a building for the university was also built. There will be several faculties. But after looking at this list, I saw that there is no architectural faculty, and suggested adding it. Because Italian architecture is a universal value, and the construction sector, which has gained wide scope in our country, of course must have a modern look. "
