President: Azerbaijan highly appreciates OIC's consistent support

Azerbaijan has always felt the consistent support of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in a congratulatory letter to OIC Secretary-General Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, according to Report.

The head of state noted that over the 35 years of its membership in the Organization, Azerbaijan has played an active and responsible role in the OIC's activities, contributed to strengthening Islamic solidarity, and actively participated in enhancing the Organization's standing on the international stage.

"In turn, Azerbaijan has always felt the consistent support of the OIC. During the nearly 30 years of Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan and in the post-war period, the OIC demonstrated a resolute stance by adopting resolutions and statements that strongly condemned the occupation, supported Azerbaijan's just cause, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and welcomed the restoration and reconstruction efforts in our liberated territories. We highly appreciate all of this," President Aliyev said.

He also expressed confidence in the continued and steady development of close cooperation between Azerbaijan and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
