Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova has had a meeting with Mevlut Çavuşoğlu, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye, Member of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and Head of the Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

They spoke with pleasure of the high-level advancement of the relations between our friendly and fraternal countries – including between their legislative assemblies. It was said that the relationship had reached its zenith and encompassed all the spheres that are there, in line with the ‘One nation – two states’ motto of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev and thanks to the political will and joint endeavours of our Heads of State.

The progress of the high-tier co-operation, including in the parliamentary realm, was underscored as well.

Mevlut Çavuşoğlu congratulated Sahiba Gafarova on the successful conduct of the extraordinary parliamentary elections and her re-election as Speaker of the Milli Majlis.

It was mentioned that the interaction between the Presidents of Parliament, friendship groups and MPs had made significant contributions to the development of relations. It was also said with satisfaction that our legislative assemblies and their deputies take united stances in all the international parliamentary organisations. The collaboration of our parliamentarians is crucial in the fight against campaigns of defamation and pressure carried out by certain circles against our countries.

Opinions were voiced as to the high standards of the COP29 arrangements hosted by Azerbaijan. That historic summit was described as another contribution of our country to global processes.

Then, there was an exchange of opinions about the current state of affairs in the region. The significance of the international conference ‘The Right to Return – Promoting Justice for the Azerbaijanis Forcibly Evicted from Armenia’ organised by the Community of Western Azerbaijan was underscored, too.
