Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov in a video message shown at the awarding
ceremony of the Zayed Award for Human
Fraternity, Trend's
special correspondent reports.
"Dear Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev,
Dear Nikol Vovayevich Pashinyan,
I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to you on
being awarded the Zayed Award for Human Fraternity for 2026. The
Kyrgyz Republic welcomes with special satisfaction the signing of
the Joint Declaration on the results of the meeting held between
you in Washington on August 8, 2025. This is not merely a political
and diplomatic step, but a truly historic achievement that serves
to strengthen lasting peace, security, and mutual confidence in the
South Caucasus.
I would also like to emphasize that Distinguished Ilham Heydar
oglu and Distinguished Nikol Vovayevich have demonstrated the
highest level of statesmanship, far-sighted leadership, and
political responsibility. The Kyrgyz Republic is firmly convinced
that the full restoration of relations between your countries
primarily serves the interests of both peoples and creates a strong
foundation for lasting peace. In this sense, we fully support the
recent efforts of Baku and Yerevan to sign a peace agreement as
soon as possible. We are ready to provide full support for this
process, which strengthens mutual trust between the two countries
and contributes to the creation of a sustainable peace
architecture," he said.
Zhaparov emphasized that the Kyrgyz Republic attaches special
importance to its historical experience in this area.
"I would also like to note that the Bishkek Protocol, signed in
1994 to stop the conflict in Karabakh and save people’s lives,
became an important example of diplomatic pragmatism and
responsibility.
As you may know, the Kyrgyz Republic has gradually resolved
border issues with neighboring states. In 2025, an agreement was
signed on the section of the border between Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
and Uzbekistan that connects the three countries. For many years,
we have consistently sought to resolve challenges related to border
issues. As a result, all issues have been resolved in the spirit of
friendship, good-neighborliness, mutual support, and mutual trust.
I firmly believe that Azerbaijan and Armenia will achieve peaceful
relations in the same manner, laying a solid foundation for
long-term cooperation in the interests of harmony, friendship, and
prosperity between the two peoples.
Dear members of the Jury of the 2026 Zayed Award for Human
Fraternity, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for
your continuous advancement of this important mission and for
working toward such a noble cause. I sincerely hope that your
important work contributing to peace and mutual understanding will
be sustainable. I also hope that your efforts will mobilize the
international community around the values of solidarity, mutual
support, and respect for human dignity," he said.
