Previously, Azerbaijan-Central Asia relations were often described in a chr("39")5+1chr("39") formula - symbolizing the five Central Asian states plus Azerbaijan as a separate partner. However, today this formula has evolved from a sheer mathematical concept into a political and historical reality - even into the matter of chemistry- transforming into a unified chr("39")6,chr("39") reflecting the deepening integration, constituting single geopolitical entity and shared destiny among these nations based on our common history, culture, traditions, ethnic and linguistic kinship," reads the post.
