"Azerbaijan's monthly presidency in the Security Council, chaired by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, started yesterday," he said. "The presidency will pass to Azerbaijan again for a month in accordance with the schedule in September 2013. First, electing and presidency in the Security Council is a pleasant fact for Azerbaijan. We perceive this as an expression of the world community's confidence in Azerbaijan."
