May 4, Fineko/abc.az. Whether it's our policy on regional development or policy on international affairs, on issues related to territorial integrity of countries is absolutely clear, absolutely free from any kind of current situation interests. And I think that Azerbaijan will become much stronger as a result of geopolitical change.  We already see it.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this during his speech at the international conference in Shusha.

“And the way how Armenia is coming closer to not only understanding but to publicly admitting Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan, and also partly because of geopolitical change, partly because of collapse of the illusions that someone will come and fight for them. So, and of course, Azerbaijan's energy resources now much more needed to strengthen European energy security than ever before. So, I am not pessimistic with respect to our country's prospects, rather more optimistic, but try always to be realistic,” the president said.
