`Azerbaijan`s positions in the region are quite strong`
Baku, August 15 (AZERTAC). “Our country is developing. This is already a reality. Anyone visiting Azerbaijan, Baku and the districts, if he is objective and unbiased, cannot deny this development. It makes us very happy, inspires us even more and encourages for further steps. We want to make our country even stronger,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the iftar ceremony on the occasion of the Ramadan.
He noted Azerbaijan`s positions in the region are quite strong and the country`s influence opportunities are expanding.
“Azerbaijan has all the freedoms, the freedom of religion. The biggest asset is the freedom of religion, conscience, speech, thought, political activity and the press. All these freedoms are available in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani people are a free people. We have gained independence, have been living as an independent country for 20 years. At the same time, the development of democracy in Azerbaijan has also come a long way. There are all the freedoms today, and the people of Azerbaijan are seeing the fruits of that,” the President said.
