Mehdiyev noted that Ilham Aliyev supports the ruling regime in Iran and President Ahmadinejad believes his friend and supporter. "The existence of a strong and stable Iran beneficial for Azerbaijan.

Referring to Ahmadinejad, Ramiz Mehdiyev said, "Your name and actions are inscribed in golden letters in the internal, regional and global policies, we can clearly see, and that's why you have so respected."

It is worth noting that during an official meeting the flag of Azerbaijan was absent in the hall, although Iran's flag was behind Ahmadinejad.-02D-
