Senator reports on potential cooperation agreement between Brazil and Azerbaijan

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Nagorno-Karabakh has recently joined the Central Asian country after years of conflict with Armenia.

“I want to say this, because it is a friendly nation that intends to have Brazil’s cooperation and support in these areas, also opportunities for consolidating the peace process and that allows Brazil to have a more present geopolitical position in this region, and which provides our companies and the cooperation of our universities with an interesting alternative,” he said.

Antonio Anastasia explained that in the 1990s Brazil took part in an attempt for a peaceful solution to the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, promoted by the United Nations.

The senator further said that the trip to Azerbaijan followed an invitation from the government of the country, at no cost to the Senate.
