At a meeting on July 12, the parties discussed cooperation in the energy sector, with which Syria is currently experiencing serious problems.

"In this context, it was stressed that a project to export Azerbaijani gas to Syria through Turkey will be implemented in the near future, which will contribute to ensuring the energy security of this country," the statement said.

Ilham Aliyev noted that under the previous government in Syria, which for many years pursued an unfriendly policy towards Azerbaijan, there was stagnation in bilateral relations. He stressed that after the establishment of the new government in Syria, great prospects for the development of relations have opened up.

Ahmed al-Sharaa noted with regret that the previous government had harmed Syria's relations with many countries, including Azerbaijan.

In addition, the sides noted that, taking into account Azerbaijan's experience in reconstruction and construction work in the territories liberated from occupation, Azerbaijan can contribute to the reconstruction process in Syria in the post-conflict period. tengrinews.kz.
