"The relations between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan have historical roots. Our relations were not established yesterday, today. We have genetic ties with Uzbekistan. Our language, our culture are connected for thousands of years."
Umud Mirzayev, president of the International Eurasia Press Fund, said this to Ednews TV while expressing his opinion on relations between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. According to him, Uzbekistan did not give us little support even during the time when the victorious Azerbaijani army liberated our lands in the 44-day war.
"Uzbekistan was the country that supported the call of Azerbaijan when “Great Return to Karabakh” started. An incomparably large school is being built in the Fuzuli region. We watched its opening ceremony with honor."
U. Mirazyev stated that Mr. President Ilham Aliyev also said in his speech that it is a unique palace of education:
"In the true sense of the word, this school will receive about a thousand students. There is such a school in Tashkent. It is called the Presidential School. It is a very happy and proud moment. Important documents were also signed at the meeting of the leaders of the two countries."
