Chairman of the Milli Majlis Murtuz Alasgarov met with Charge
D’Affaires of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in
Azerbaijan Muhammad al-Jleti Jabir.

The Speaker said that although friendly relations between the two
countries have existed since ancient times, they have not been
brought to a due level, and that no a single sitting of the joint
interparliamentary commission formed three years ago has been held yet.

He expressed satisfaction, however, that despite all the problems,
Libya had supported the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Our
people appreciate it and, our country has concern in development of
relations with Libya, he said.

Charge D’Affaires Muhammad al-Jleti Jabir shared Mr. Alasgarov’s
opinion stressing the importance of organization of reciprocal visits
of the two countries’ delegations for development of the relations. He
announced that Speaker of Libyan Parliament had invited his Azerbaijani
counterpart to visit the country and handed the letter of invitation
over to Murtuz Alasgarov.

Mr. Muhammad al-Jleti Jabir stressed as well that Libya has always
supported and will support in the future the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan adding that despite the repeated requests from the
official Yerevan, his country has not yet allowed the opening of
Armenia’s embassy in Libya.

The parties then discussed a number of other issues of mutual interest.
