Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev's open and firm stance towards Ukraine is not going unnoticed by the public. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Recently, his statements have been widely discussed in international media as his relations with Russia have become more complicated. At a recent event, Aliyev was ceremonially presented with the chevrons of a fascist brigade belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces by Ukrainian activist Diana Qurbanova.
This event has sparked various reactions in the public. Aliyev, while expressing gratitude to Qurbanova, requested her to continue her work and said: “Thank you very much.
I appreciate your work. Keep it up.” Through this statement, Aliyev not only expressed moral support for Ukraine but also openly articulated his clear political position.
These words are causing various debates in the international political arena. Additionally, yesterday, in response to a question from Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon, Aliyev expressed a sharp opinion regarding Ukraine.
He emphasized that Ukraine must not allow its territories to be occupied at all. He stated: “There should be no tolerance for any occupation.
Preventing this is the duty of every independent state.” These thoughts demonstrate a commitment to Ukraine. Especially in the context of deteriorating relations with Russia, such open support could have a significant impact on international politics.
Ilham Aliyev's actions indicate the beginning of a new direction in Azerbaijan's foreign policy. If he continues to make such firm statements, the likelihood of Azerbaijan being accepted as a close strategic partner not only by Ukraine but also by Western countries increases.
However, this situation could also provoke a sharp reaction from Russia. Currently, these events are being assessed differently in Azerbaijan's political environment.
Some see Aliyev as a brave and determined leader, while others are cautiously receiving his words. Undoubtedly, these events will lead to broader discussions in the international information space in the coming days.
Aliyev's words “Keep it up” could become a symbol of political loyalty towards Ukraine.
