The President of Azerbaijan received the golden medal while visiting
the People’s Assembly of Egypt this week.
Nagorno Karabakh’s trip to Egypt was highly anticipated because of
Egypt’s close relations with Armenia, a nation currently in conflict
with and partially occupied by.
The Azerbaijani President’s visit centered on economic relations and
the realization of projects of international importance. No specific
deal was discussed or announced by Cairo.
Egypt’s parliament emphasized the need for Armenia to withdraw from
Azerbaijani territory and finding a quick resolution in ending the
conflict between the two neighbors. Members of Parliament said that
the issue of refugees must be addressed and allowed to return to
their homelands.
Egypt has been increasing international activity over the past
year or so in an attempt to move the economy out of stagnation. The
government has signed economic agreements with a number of countries,
most notably China and Kazakhstan.
