BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. Today, the Central
Asia-Azerbaijan unity and the transformation of the C5 into C6
carry great importance not only for our region but for the world,
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with
local television channels on January 5, Trend reports.
Because connectivity, transport, and logistics are of major
significance for many leading international actors, and in this
regard, the only reliable country geographically capable of linking
Central Asia with the West is Azerbaijan,” the head of state
added.
“Of course, from a geographical point of view, other routes can
also be used. However, taking into account the current geopolitical
situation, we can say with complete certainty that alternative
routes for the West cannot be considered acceptable. Therefore, our
role as a living bridge and a reliable partner, as a country that
can already implement large projects, will naturally increase, and
we are already seeing the fruition of this in practice,” the
Azerbaijani President emphasized.
