`Azerbaijan is now a rapidly developing and stable country`
Baku, April 9 (AZERTAC). “Azerbaijan is now a rapidly developing and stable country. From an economic point of view, it totally relies on its internal resources,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the world forum on intercultural dialogue held here.
“Azerbaijan is now a fast developing and stable country. From an economic point of view, it totally relies on its internal resources. From a political point of view, Azerbaijan is a country that has chosen a modern path of development. A modern secular state is being established on the basis of strong national traditions. There are all freedoms here and people are living in totally secure conditions. More than 900,000 jobs have been created over the last seven years, and almost all unemployment has been eliminated. The number of people living below the poverty line has fallen by 4.5 times over the last seven years,” he noted.
“Although the history of our independence is short, it is an indicator in itself. We have turned out of a devastated and almost divided country into a modern and developing country that is boosting its role in the region. This has been done by the Azerbaijani people. We have achieved this thanks to the talent and hard work of the Azerbaijani people. Today we are engaged not only in domestic issues, and the holding of this forum has a rather international meaning. Simply, we want such authoritative events which are being held in Baku, and will be held in the future, to become traditional and the issues that are being, and will be, discussed here to yield positive results,” the Azerbaijani leader pointed out.
