President: When the Turkic world, the Caucasus, and the Islamic world stand together, no one can overcome us

President Ilham Aliyev highlighted the combined strength of the Turkic world, the Caucasus, and the Islamic world, Report informs.

The president made the statement when he received Kubanychbek Omuraliev, Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States, members and observers of the Council of Heads of Muslim Religious Boards of the Organization of Turkic States, as well as a delegation comprising co-organizers of the Yahya Bakuvi International Conference and members of the Supreme Religious Council of Caucasian Peoples.

"Our unity will strengthen each of us. Because when each of us stands alone, we may face difficulties. But when the Turkic world, the Caucasus and the Islamic world stand together, no one can overcome us. No one can commit injustice against us. Therefore, as a state and in formulating and implementing state policy, we always prioritize this factor. Because we faced this injustice. For 30 years, we raised our voice in all European organizations, trying to convey the truth. I personally, back in 2001, was a deputy of the Milli Majlis and Azerbaijan became a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and I led the Azerbaijani delegation. When our delegation arrived there, first of all raised the issue that an end must be put to this injustice. And what were we demanding? We were not demanding that the Council of Europe go and fight against Armenia. We were demanding that a political decision be made. Call the aggressor an aggressor. Adopting a political decision is effectively a political assessment. They did not want to do this. No political assessment was made. On the contrary, they maligned us, tarnished our reputation, and this continues today," Ilham Aliyev said.
