BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 22. Among the modern global challenges faced by states, the problems of peace and security are among the most pressing issues affecting all areas of international relations and their participants, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in his speech to the participants of a special conference on "Security and Cooperation: Role of Political Parties" of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) being held in Baku, Trend reports.
“In the current period of the emergence of a new world order accompanied by serious upheavals in the system of international relations, it has become necessary for political parties and international organizations at various levels to reassess their positions and opportunities to influence events.
Among the modern global challenges faced by states, the problems of peace and security are among the most pressing issues affecting all areas of international relations and their participants. This is a sensitive and priority issue for Azerbaijan, which, having liberated its territories from occupation as a result of the Second Karabakh War in 2020 and put an end to years of military aggression, has implemented the requirements of four UN Security Council resolutions that had remained on paper for about 30 years. It is also a priority issue for the entire South Caucasus region.
Historical experience shows that conflicts cannot last forever. Ensuring peace and security between Azerbaijan and Armenia on the basis of international law and the principle of justice is a requirement of the era and time. From this point of view, the exchange of knowledge and experience, the expansion of opportunities for cooperation between political parties in order to promote international peace and security are commendable,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
