In an exclusive interview in the margins of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev said that the world order is changing.
“International relations are entering a new era, an era where it is not the rule of law, but the rule of strength that is ruling the situation”, said the president.
“Every country should base their strategy and policy on their potential”, he added.
Asked about the situation in the Southern Caucasus and the vicinity of Azerbaijan, he hoped “it will not deteriorate”.
“I hope every country will contribute to regional stability and security”, said the president. “We’ve been concerned about some destabilisation in Iran, and for us stability, predictability and peace in the region is the biggest asset.”
Azerbaijan, known for its gas exports, this week started sending gas supplies to Germany and Austria.
“We already supply natural gas to 16 countries, and 10 of them are members of European Union”, explained Aliyev. “So by this coverage, by geographical coverage of supply of pipeline gas, Azerbaijan is number one in the world.”
