BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 16. We want with out
preconditions and synthetic delays to start out the work on the draft
peace treaty, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
stated addressing the summit of the Shanghai
Cooperation Group (SCO) member states, Pattern reviews.
Speech of President Ilham Aliyev: Distinguished Shavkat
Miromonovich,
Distinguished Heads of State and Authorities,
Women and gents,
I want to thank the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat
Miromonovich Mirziyoyev for inviting me to the Shanghai Cooperation
Group summit.
Few months in the past, I had a really profitable state go to to
Uzbekistan and now I’m glad to be right here, in brotherly Uzbekistan,
historical and exquisite metropolis of Samarkand.
Underneath the management of my brother Shavkat Mirziyoyev,
Uzbekistan has gone via a path of speedy improvement and
profitable reforms lately.
I want to inform colleagues about transit, transport and
logistics capabilities of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan has made important contributions to the launch of
regional connectivity tasks reminiscent of East-West and North-South
transportation corridors.
At present, Baku Worldwide Commerce Seaport have the dealing with
capability of 15 million tons of cargo per 12 months, which might be
elevated as much as 25 million tons.
Within the first 7 months of 2022, the transit via Azerbaijan
elevated by almost 50 %.
Azerbaijan has the biggest civilian cargo fleet within the Caspian
Sea with 52 ships. The Baku Shipyard can produce all forms of
ships.
Over the last 20 years 19.000 km of highways and 1400 km of
railroads have been both constructed or extensively repaired in Azerbaijan.
At present Azerbaijan is constructing hundreds of kilometers of highways
and a whole bunch of kilometers of railroads within the liberated
territories after the victory within the Second Karabakh Struggle of
2020.
Azerbaijan has one of many largest civilian air cargo fleets in
our area with 18 planes.
By the top of 2024, the variety of worldwide airports in
Azerbaijan will enhance from at present’s 7 to 9.
The decision of the Karabakh battle on the finish of 2020
created new alternatives for the event of the transport
connectivity tasks in our area. As soon as the Zangazur hall is
opened, it’s going to additional enhance the transportation capabilities of
the nations from the area and will likely be helpful to all
nations alongside the route.
Azerbaijan introduced 5 fundamental rules for the peace
settlement to Armenia primarily based on the mutual recognition of every
different’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Now, we want with out
preconditions and synthetic delays to start out the work on the draft
peace treaty.
However sadly, on 13 September this 12 months Armenia perpetrated
large-scale army provocation on the state border with
Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani Armed Forces resolutely repulsed the
Armenian provocation. This provocation is a large blow to the
normalization course of between two nations. All accountability for
this lies with the military-political management of Armenia.
Expensive colleagues,
Inefficiency of some main worldwide organizations is a
matter of concern. On this regard, I want to point out the 4
United Nations Safety Council resolutions adopted in 1993,
demanding withdrawal of armed forces of Armenia from Azerbaijan’s
occupied territories. Whereas some resolutions of the Safety
Council are carried out inside days, in our case they remained
unfulfilled for 27 years. Azerbaijan resolved the Karabakh battle
by military-political means and itself, enforced the implementation
of the abovementioned Safety Council resolutions.
Since 2019 Azerbaijan is chairing the Non-Aligned Motion, the
second largest worldwide establishment after the UN, which unites
120 nations. Our chairmanship was unanimously extended for one
extra 12 months till 2023 and it is a signal of respect, confidence and
belief in our nation. Azerbaijan will proceed to construct its
actions primarily based on worldwide regulation, justice and international
safety.
Thanks!
