Opening the briefing, EPC Chief Executive Hans Martens warmly greeted President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and introduced him to the audience. He noted the meeting is attended by influential politicians of the Kingdom of Belgium, and that the address by the Head of Azerbaijani State would be rather useful for them.
President Ilham Aliyev has made a speech at the briefing. The Head of State dwelt on the difficulties Azerbaijan faced after gaining its state independence, Armenian military aggression and its hard consequences, restoration of stability after national leader Heydar Aliyev’s return to power in 1993, as well as reforms carried out in the Republic and successes achieved. President Ilham Aliyev especially stressed that Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which remains unresolved for years, is the main factor posing a serious threat to the region.
Later on, the Head of Azerbaijan responded to the questions from the briefing participants.
