Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who is on working visit to Vienna, met his Austrian counterpart Heinz Fischer at Hofburg Imperial Palace on November 19.
The sides praised the bilateral relations in the political, economic and other fields. They underlined good potential for strengthening the ties, and expressed confidence the bilateral relations would further expand.
The Heads of State exchanged views on the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well as issues of mutual interest.
President Aliyev arrived in Austria to meet with the Armenian president to discuss the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the early 1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions.
