Azerbaijan expresses full support to Palestine in establishment of independent state
The general overview of the current situation in a number of Muslim countries remains a deep concern for all of us, said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
The Foreign Minister made the remarks on Jan.19 in the extraordinary session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), AzVision.az reports citing the foreign ministry’s website.

According to him, the situation in Rohingya continues to be a serious challenge for the Islamic Ummah and requires a unified stand of the OIC member states.

“Azerbaijan, which has faced longstanding problem of refugees and internally displaced persons, as a result of the military aggression of the Republic of Armenia with notorious facts of occupation and ethnic cleansing on the part of my country, has full understanding of those who suffered from injustice and sufferings. Therefore, we extremely condemn the acts of repression as killing and arrest of Rohingya civilians, destruction of their homes and religious buildings and call upon the leadership of Myanmar to eliminate this humanitarian crisis and restore stability and dignity in the Muslim populated part of Myanmar”, Mammadyarov said.

The minister said stressed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very painful issue for us. “I would like to reiterate Azerbaijan’s full support to the brotherly people of Palestine in their struggle for achieving peace, stability and establishment of an independent State.

Azerbaijan stands for the two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which is the only guarantee of achieving the long-awaited, comprehensive, lasting and just peace, security and sustainable development in this sacred land. We highly commend the work done by the OIC in supporting the Palestinian people and serving the Palestinian cause” noted the Foreign Minister.
