BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 29. In two decades, Azerbaijan has recovered its sovereignty and territorial integrity, established an independent foreign policy, emerged as an important regional and global player, and attained a thriving economy, Chairman of Azerbaijan's Milli Majlis (Parliament) Committee for Natural Resources, Energy, and Ecology Sadig Gurbanov told Trend.
He emphasized that the triumph in the Second Karabakh War marked a glorious chapter in Azerbaijan's history.
