Azerbaijani Ambassador to Jordan met with the President of the Jordan Senate to discuss bilateral cooperation.

During the meeting, Sabir Aghabeyov and Abdur-Rauf Rawabdeh discussed the existing relations between the legislative bodies of the two countries.

The future activity of Jordan-Azerbaijan Brotherhood Committee operating in the Jordan Senate and the approval of its new structure was among the discussed issues.

Aghabeyov presented Azerbaijan's Parliament Speaker Ogtay Asadov's congratulatory letter for Rawabdeh's appointment to the Senate presidency.

Rawabdeh thanked him for the letter and said the new structure of the brotherhood committee will be approved soon.

He also expressed satisfaction on the development of relations between Azerbaijan and Jordan, saying his country is always ready to support Azerbaijan.

Aghabeyov thanked Rawabdeh for adopting a statement on Khojaly genocide by the Jordan Senate.

In July, the Jordanian Senate condemned and adopted a statement on the Khojaly genocide committed by Armenian armed forces against Azerbaijani civilians during the 1990s war.

The Senate also issued a statement on the Khojaly genocide in May and expressed support for the decision of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states to recognize Khojaly tragedy as a genocide and crime against humanity, and call for steps to get this massacre recognized.
