Today, we have already said that this is a historic day in our relations, and I am sure that today's signing will have a very positive effect on the development of regional cooperation. You have already noted the cooperation among Caspian littoral countries, which is also developing very dynamically, in the spirit of mutual understanding and mutual support, said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in a meeting through video conferencing with President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in connection with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of Turkmenistan on joint exploration and development of hydrocarbon resources of the “Dostlug” field in the Caspian Sea, APA reports.
"This has resulted in the signing of the Convention on the Status of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian countries have shown goodwill and political determination. And after many years of discussion, the Convention, which opens up new opportunities for countries to develop energy resources, as well as joint activities to protect the Caspian, was agreed. Through joint effort, we must continue to do everything to protect this unique reservoir, which brings so many benefits to our peoples. Today, watching the signing, I thought that our ancestors, probably, if they saw this ceremony today, would be happy today. Their souls will be pleased, so to speak. They would be proud of us for the fact that two fraternal peoples go hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder today, confidently support each other, cooperate for the good and for the future of their peoples, thereby ensuring the progressive development of our countries for many years and decades to come," said President Aliyev.
