EDUARD SHEVARDNADZE:
“SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT HEYDAR ALIYEV’S HEROISM, WISDOM, FORTITUDE AND FIRM DEFINITION TO REACH HIS GOAL, THE EAST-WEST ENERGY CORRIDOR CANNOT BE REALIZED”
“The XXI century started with the construction of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan MEP. It is one of the important events in the centuries-old history of the states of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia. IN the passed ten years after gaining independence, this is the most important accomplishment for Georgia. On behalf of the people of Georgia, I express my deep gratitude to the founder of this project, esteemed leader of Azerbaijani nation, and true friend of my people, my brother Heydar Aliyev.
Should not be President Heydar Aliyev’s heroism, wisdom, fortitude and firm definition to reach his goal, the East-west energy corridor cannot be realized.
…In crucial moment, just the President of Azerbaijan demonstrated resoluteness, and thus, the enemies could not reach their goals and they would not in the future as well.
