BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 28. Independence is a
great blessing, a great achievement. But true independence exists
only when a country is able to pursue an independent policy. Look,
Azerbaijan is one of those countries, said President Ilham Aliyev
during his meeting with residents in the village of Boyuk
Galaderesi in Shusha, Trend reports.
The head of state also stated: “Today, there are nearly 200
independent countries in the world, but it cannot be said that each
of them is truly independent. We are an independent state in the
true sense of the word, because we determine our own destiny,
conduct our policy without external influence, and act in the
interests of our people and state on the basis of protecting
national interests.”
