“Pakistan is ready to give support to Azerbaijan in the military
sphere”.
The statement came from deputy chairman of the Senate of Pakistan Mir
Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali at the press conference in Baku, APA reports.
Jamali said chairman of Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee
is in Baku.
“Pakistan is a nuclear state. We are producing our weapons, tanks,
modernizing our warships. We want to say to our Azerbaijani brothers
that together with Turkey we are ready to support Azerbaijan. We are
one of the three states that do not recognize Armenia as a state,”
he said.
Jamali underlined that there is potential for cooperation between
Pakistan and Azerbaijan in the area of defense industry.
“Pakistan was the second country that recognized Azerbaijan’s
independence. At the same time it is one of the 3 countries that
don’t recognize Armenia officially”, said Chairman of the Pakistani
Senate’s Committee on Foreign Affairs Salim Seyfulla Khan at the
press conference held in Baku.
The Committee Chairman said that Pakistan had Kashmir problem and
Azerbaijan had Nagorno Karabakh problem: “The UN adopted a resolution
on the right of Kashmir’s population to liberty.
We struggle for this issue. We had 4 wars with India on it. We
think that there is no necessity to begin the next war. The UN has
resolutions on Nagorno Karabakh. Pakistan supports the peaceful
settlement of this conflict. Yesterday we heard news that the French
Constitutional Court adopted a decision protection Azerbaijan and
Turkey’s interest”.
Salim Seyfulla Khan noted that the resolution on Khojaly genocide
was adopted in the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Affairs as a result
of efforts of Deputy Chairman of Pakistani Senate Jan Muhammad
Khan Jamali: “12 political parties are represented in Pakistani
Senate and this resolution was unanimously adopted. According to
our parliamentary system the resolution adopted unanimously by any
committee is considered as the Senate’s resolution”.
According to the Committee Chairman, the political relations between
the two countries are at a high level: “The countries are not so close
to each other from the economic point of view. We discuss these issues
at our meetings. It is possible to develop the relations in economic,
cultural and Mass media spheres. Mr. President gave a task for holding
the meetings in this sphere”.
