On October 18, Azerbaijan celebrates the Day of the Restoration of Independence. It was on this date in 1991 that the republic’s Supreme Soviet adopted a Constitutional Act, formalizing the country’s departure from the Soviet system and the restoration of its state sovereignty.
Azerbaijan has repeatedly expressed support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and no one hides this. This was stated by the country's President Ilham Aliyev at an international forum in Baku.
According to him, Azerbaijan provides humanitarian and financial assistance to Ukraine and carries out reconstruction in the city of Irpen. At the same time, Baku does not supply weapons there.
“I don’t know how the war in Ukraine will end. I have no practical answer and I don't think anyone knows when this will stop. But even if this stops, there is no guarantee that it will not happen again,” Aliyev noted.
The President of Azerbaijan also expressed support for the normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey. He emphasized that there is coordination on this issue between Azerbaijan and Turkey.
