Slovak Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Ivan Korcok has affirmed his country`s continuous support for Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan is an important energy partner of the European Union. The issue of territorial integrity is a very important priority for Slovakia. So we believe that the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is of particular importance. Slovakia will continue to support Azerbaijan on the international arena," Korcok told a press conference following his meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov.

Korcok said although Azerbaijan and Slovakia were not geographically close countries, this did not hinder the development of mutual relations. "The opening of our embassy in Azerbaijan is a clear indication of the value we place on our relations with Azerbaijan," he added.
