He thanked Turkey and the Turkic Council member states for their support.
"Our victory in the 44-day Patriotic War is of great historic and political essence, as well as is important for our region. The historic victory has created new realities and new opportunities for regional cooperation for the development of Azerbaijan and the region as a whole. At present, rapid restoration and construction work is underway in Azerbaijan’s occupied territories. I would like to underscore the rapid implementation of the Zangazur Corridor project, which will contribute to the expansion of trade, transit and logistics opportunities in the region, and will connect the main part of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan.
