According to him, over the past 20 years, the Azerbaijani economy has grown by four times, and exports - by 15.6 percent.

"Azerbaijan's non-oil exports increased by 21.8 percent, and trade turnover, in particular, Azerbaijani exports, also increased," Mammadov said.

Speaking about the investment environment, he said that the establishment of free economic zones throughout the country, including in Karabakh and Nakhchivan, contributes to this growth.
