BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 2. It is clear that the world will never be as it was before February this year, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said answering questions at the 48th International Forum in Cernobbio, Italy, Trend reports.
"The world has changed and how this change will evaluate, it will depend on a variety of factors. It will depend on how long the war in Ukraine continues. It will depend on what will be the end of that war, what will be the balance of forces in the world and, of course, in the region. For us, the most important as a country which is relatively newly independent, is to protect us from external problems and external challenges," the head of state said.
