Sattar Mohbaliyev: "Establishment of Joint Monitoring Center was another manifestation of Azerbaijan-Turkey brotherhood"
01 Feb 2021
"The establishment of the Turkish-Russian Joint Monitoring Center in Agdam is of great importance not only for the establishment of peace and stability in Karabakh, but also in the South Caucasus region in general, as well as the prospects for mutual cooperation between the countries of the region.
It is known that under the leadership of the President of
the Republic of Azerbaijan, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham
Aliyev, our country has implemented UN Security Council resolutions ignored by
Armenia and its supporters for 30 years in just 44 days, thus resolving the
Karabakh conflict. However, the mere fact of the end of hostilities does not in
itself guarantee peace and stability in the region and the region. This
required a special body to monitor further developments in the former conflict
zone. The trilateral statement signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Russia and
Armenia on November 10, 2020 also provided for the establishment of a
peacekeeping center to monitor the ceasefire in order to increase the
effectiveness of monitoring the compliance of the parties to the agreements.
Also, for this purpose, Turkey and Russia agreed to establish a Joint Center.
As a result of this agreement, the Turkish-Russian Joint Monitoring Center was
established on January 30 in the Aghdam region. ” The statement came from MP,
chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation Sattar Mohbaliyev in an
interview with our website.
Sattar Mohbaliyev also said that the joint activity of
Turkish and Russian peacekeepers in the newly established Center is in the
interests of Azerbaijan: “It should be noted that both countries are friendly
and neighboring countries for us, and it is important to establish such a
center with their participation. . First of all, with the establishment of this
center, the attempts of other forces to side with the region were eliminated.
Turkey, together with Russia, will play a decisive role in officially
monitoring the ceasefire. Also, the joint activities of Turkey and Russia
create great opportunities for future cooperation in the region. However, I
think that the main tasks of the Monitoring Center for today will be to ensure
stability in the region, to fulfill the terms of the agreement reached between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, to prevent and investigate possible incidents. "
The MP stressed that the start of the service of the
representatives of brotherly Turkey in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan
can be seen as another successful result of the new geopolitical realities
created by our country in the region. Sattar Mohbaliyev concluded: “The 44-day
Patriotic War, which ended with the complete and decisive victory of
Azerbaijan, created new realities in the South Caucasus region. The formation
of these realities, of course, was possible, first of all, as a result of the
purposeful foreign policy pursued by the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, and thanks to the invincible political will of
our esteemed head of state. At the same time, the Azerbaijan-Turkey partnership
and unshakable friendship have played an important role in the acceptance of
these new realities by the whole world. Today, this partnership lays the
foundation for ensuring not only peace and security in the region, but also new
joint projects to be implemented in the future with the participation of
countries in the region and neighboring countries. The joint efforts of the two
countries in the post-war period are of great importance for the stability,
security and sustainable development of the South Caucasus as a whole. From now
on, other countries in the region will take an active part in creating a
diversified network of international transport corridors, which will further
increase the country's regional and international prestige.
