BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. Activists who have
exhausted the entire world with this “green agenda” have now come
to realize that no economy can develop without oil, gas, and fuel,
President Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at the 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party
(YAP).
"Even those activists who have exhausted the entire world with
this “green agenda” have now come to realize that no economy can
develop without oil, gas, and fuel. You remember well how many
groundless accusations were leveled against us during COP29 and on
its eve, claiming that a climate conference should not be held in
an oil-producing country. Well, Canada produces 10 times more oil
than we do. It can be held there, but not here?! Once again, it was
a biased approach. However, I want to say that today, serious
discussions are taking place even among those who put forward the
thesis of the “green transition.” Well then, let them not buy our
gas, our oil, or our petroleum products. How will their economies
develop? That is why Azerbaijan, rich in energy resources, is
becoming a very serious geopolitical and security factor today.
Because energy security means the national security of every
country, and our role will grow even further," President Ilham
Aliyev said.
The 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) was held
yesterday at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku.
A total of 960 delegates were elected by YAP's district and city
organizations to attend the congress.
As part of preparations for the 8th Congress, reporting
conferences were held at 84 local party organizations from
September 7 to 19. A total of 16,239 people attended the
conferences.
The reporting conferences heard reports on work carried out to
fulfill the tasks set after the 7th Congress and discussed the
results achieved.
