“From the point of view of the development of economic and cultural ties, the establishment of contacts between Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan is the right step that should not cause concern,” said Fazil Mustafa, deputy of the Milli Majilis,
in an interview with haqqin.az,
Recall that on February 18, on the fields of the Munich Security Conference, a meeting of the president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev with the head of Iraqi Kurdistan was Nevochirvan Barzani, during which the head of state invited Barzani to visit Azerbaijan.
“There are no problems between Iraqi Kurdistan and Azerbaijan, – Fazil Mustafa emphasized.” Although Iraqi Kurdistan is not a sovereign state, he nevertheless pursues an independent policy in a number of spheres and is to a certain extent more stable than other regions Iraq.
Azerbaijan always adheres to the principles of good neighborliness and openness, and we are ready to maintain normal relations with all actors. From this point of view, in the invitation to visit Azerbaijan, which Nevchirvan Barzani received from the head of our state, is not surprising. In any case, this is a completely correct step from the point of view of the development of economic and cultural ties that should not cause concern. “
