Baku State University (BSU) Faculty of Law organized an online round table on "Legal analysis of the Shusha Declaration."

Speaking at the roundtable, Dean of the Faculty of Law Amir Aliyev noted that the declaration signed by the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey in Shusha, the ancient land of Azerbaijan, will have a significant impact not only on the South Caucasus, but also on the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. Emphasizing the importance of the document for the establishment of a military alliance between Azerbaijan and Turkey, Aliyev said that this alliance was established at a time when the existing balance of power was being violated and a new world order was being formed. He noted that Azerbaijan is a regional leader with a military-political alliance, mutual support and agreement on action with Turkey.

It was stated in the speeches that the declaration demonstrates a new approach to Azerbaijan-Turkey strategic relations based on the principles of National Leader Heydar Aliyev "One Nation, Two States" and the founder of the Turkish Republic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk "Azerbaijan's joy is our joy, our sorrow is our sorrow." They spoke about the importance of the declaration in the historical perspective, emphasizing the importance of signing a declaration between Turkey and Azerbaijan in the liberated city of Shusha after the Kars agreement signed a hundred years ago. It was noted that the Shusha Declaration also has legal significance and force, and discussions were held on this.
