“It is a great honor for me to receive such a prestigious award. Especially since it bears the name of the founder of the United Arab Emirates, the late Sheikh Zayed.”
Elchi.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this in an interview with Euronews TV on January 20 in Davos.
“I accept this decision as an assessment of our efforts to establish peace in the Caucasus after more than thirty years of bloodshed, conflict and wars,” the head of state noted.
It should be noted that President Ilham Aliyev was awarded the “Zayed Award for Human Fraternity”.
