"Thank you, President Aliyev. First of all, I would like to thank you for being a true friend during our time of need over the past six months. This is exactly what friendship should be like," said Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria Kiril Petkov during a one-on-one meeting with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, APA reports.

"I also fully understand that the friendship between our countries has a long history and covers many fields. I learned with great pleasure that we can even discuss other issues not related to the energy field – technology, information technologies, agriculture, construction.

I am very impressed with the work you have done over the past years. You have managed to build three international airports and become a hub between East and West.

Bulgaria is a member of the European Union. You can count on Bulgaria not only bilaterally, but also as a member of the European Union. We are also a member of the Council of the European Union. So I think that if we are together, the horizons will look very wide and promising," said PM.
