BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. Today we do not
leave a single blow against us unanswered, President Ilham Aliyev
said in his speech at the 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party
(YAP).


"Yes, today the people of Azerbaijan live in conditions of
security and tranquility. This can be considered a great asset in
today's world. Because if we look at the world map today, we will
see that there are very few nations and countries living in such
stability, tranquility, and peace as the Azerbaijani people. These
are our realities. Therefore, security measures must always remain
on the agenda. There are no risks within the country – neither
physical risks, nor ideological risks, nor any other. All risks
arise outside our borders. As Azerbaijan grows stronger, conducts a
more active and openly independent policy, and shoots back 10
arrows for every arrow aimed at us, the pressures against us will
increase even further. Look, today we do not leave a single blow
against us unanswered. For one blow, we return maybe 2, 5, 10
blows, so that everyone stays in their place, does not interfere in
our affairs, does not stick their nose into our lifestyle, and does
not tell us what to do. Let everyone go and look after their own
nation and state. Today's realities of Azerbaijan are such that we
have become a role model for many countries. Therefore, serious
measures are being taken and will continue to be taken regarding
risks – both physical and ideological risks," President Ilham
Aliyev emphasized.
