Baku, July 23 (AZERTAC). We could establish such a model that allowed us to conduct political and economic reforms in parallel and now it provides all-round development of country, president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev sated addressing the media representatives at the inauguration of Press Council`s new building on the National Press Day, 22 July.
The head of state said the “country`s economic opportunities raise and it creates additional potential for us. But, certainly, the economic reforms without adequate political reforms will not bring long-term success to the country. Should we intend to guarantee our long-term development the political reforms must support economic reforms, that is, political and economic reforms should be conducted in parallel.”
President Ilham Aliyev stated that “in our policy we take into consideration the existing conditions in region and the realities of Azerbaijan. At the same time, we closely watch the ongoing processes in the world, and are well aware of the history. We know what are experiencing the countries facing challenges and risks of the transition period. We should pursue exact, thoughtful and consecutive policy in Azerbaijan to minimize those problems, reduce those risks. Political reforms should not pass ahead of the economic reforms, and at the same time not remain behind.”
