BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. We tried in
Azerbaijan hard in order to transform the country from being purely
dependent on oil and gas into a country which can be proud of the
process of diversification of our economy, said President Ilham
Aliyev during his speech at the Azerbaijan-Latvia business forum,
Trend reports.
“If you look at the structure of our GDP, we see rapid growth
during the last 4–5 years. The share of non-oil industry in our GDP
grew from 50 to more than 70%, and it continues. So this means that
diversification of the economy is already a reality,” the President
of Azerbaijan emphasized.
