    PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN ILHAM ALIYEV ACCEPTS CREDENTIALS FROM
    AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY AND PLENIPOTENTIARY OF UKRAINE
    [December 02, 2004, 17:35:14]

    On 2 December, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
    accepted credentials from newly appointed Ambassador Extraordinary
    and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Azerbaijan Anatoliy Yurchenko.

    While presenting the credentials to the Head of State, Anatoliy
    Yurchenko expressed gratitude for this opportunity saying `this is a
    recognition of mine as Ukrainian Ambassador to the Republic of
    Azerbaijan, and this is a political recognition of Ukraine in its
    hard days.'

    The Ambassador noted that although friendship between Azerbaijan and
    Ukraine has existed at all times, it was especially developed under
    big friend of Ukraine Heydar Aliyev. It was improved during his visit
    to Ukraine in 1997, and sealed legally in the course of our
    President's visit to Azerbaijan in 2000, he said.

    Anatoliy Yurchenko described President Ilham Aliyev's recent visit to
    Ukraine as a great political step towards development of cooperation
    and partnership, as well.

    He also expressed gratitude to Azerbaijan for the active support and
    cooperation in the international arena, mutual understanding and
    cooperation within such international and regional organizations as
    the United Nations, Council of Europe, OSCE, BSEC, GUUAM and CIS.

    Accepting the credentials, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
    congratulated the Ambassador on the appointment and wished him every
    success in his activities. He expressed gratitude for the monument to
    Heydar Aliyev erected in Kiev to perpetuate his memory. This is yet
    another indication of sincere, friendly and brotherly relations
    between our two nations, the Head of State said.

    According to the Azerbaijani leader, especially valuable and
    important for Azerbaijan was the unambiguous stance of Ukraine with
    respect to the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
    Nagorno-Karabakh that President Leonid Kuchma expressed during the
    joint press-conference in Kiev clearly stating `territorial integrity
    of Azerbaijan shall be restored and Azerbaijan shall be released for
    the occupation.'
