Uzbek president confident Karabakh soon to become prosperous region

I am sure that Karabakh will very soon turn into a prosperous region.

I wish all the best as a close country. We too, just like the Azerbaijani people, waited for justice to prevail and for the Azerbaijani people to achieve the Victory. My best wishes to you. I am sure that Karabakh will turn into a prosperous region very soon because of what you told me about the future of Shusha and Fuzuli. We saw the new airport. I was there too. If anyone looks at it, they will not believe that it is Fuzuli. And it is Fuzuli indeed. All the infrastructure issues are being resolved. So, I want to say that all our agreements are being realized, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev told a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Tashkent, Caliber.Az reports with reference to Azertac news agency.

“There was a huge holiday in Azerbaijan yesterday. I think it was also a big holiday in Uzbekistan. I congratulate all the people of Azerbaijan on this Victory. We have always believed in it. You raised the state flag in Khankendi, and we saw that it put an end to all these issues. Now a strong Azerbaijan will move forward and achieve the successes that the people of Azerbaijan, the close friends of Azerbaijan, including the Uzbek people, Uzbekistan and the leadership of Uzbekistan, have been waiting for many years. We hope that Karabakh will be a prosperous land in Azerbaijan in the future, because you are doing a great deal for that. I have personally seen with my own eyes everything that is being done in Shusha and Fuzuli. I am very glad that I visited these places. Let me also highlight what the efforts you are making,” Mirziyoyev said.

The president of Uzbekistan emphasized the role of reciprocal visits in strengthening cooperation, adding that noted that Azerbaijan's successes in all spheres, including the field of economy, were causing a great joy in Uzbekistan.
