President received participants of meeting of Council of Heads of CIS Security and Intelligence Agencies
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has today received participants of a meeting of the Council of Heads of the CIS Security and Intelligence Agencies held in Baku.

President Ilham Aliyev made a speech at the event.

Azerbaijani president said Azerbaijan attaches great importance to the work of the Council: “We believe that it is very effective, it is necessary contributes to strengthening cooperation between the member countries, as well as the strengthening of security in our countries. Azerbaijan, bilaterally and multilaterally actively cooperates with the Council, and we are trying to contribute to the strengthening of security in our region and in the former Soviet Union”.

The head of State referring to the current situation in the world, noted with regret the increase in threats: “Along with the traditional existing threats, new conflicts, new threats of a terrorist nature, cover almost all the continents. I have said repeatedly and with high international tribune - life confirms it, and I`m not alone in this assessment - that alone is impossible to ensure the security of any country. Without collaboration, cooperation, joint efforts in the fight against terrorism, radicalism, extremism is very difficult to provide security. Also, I think, it is now getting more and more support theses in the world that there are no good terrorists, terrorists can not be divided between those who oppose your country or the country - your enemy or opponent. The fight against terrorism must be global. The events that we see today in our region, unfortunately, the CIS, and in the world, and in Europe, confirm the thesis that the need for joint efforts, exchange information, sincere cooperation between the special services of all countries in order to prevent threat. "

"We all live in a difficult region, the world is changing, the threats are growing. Terrorist organizations have access to a very dangerous type of weapons, technology and, of course, all this is of great concern. Events in the Middle East, which are almost out of control, the terrorist attacks on European capitals, in other regions of the globe, the growing tension - all this is the reality of today`s world. We live in the real world and have to react adequately and prevent these threats. Therefore, each country, of course, seeks to make the most of their potential to create the necessary conditions for the activity of special services. We in Azerbaijan this sphere pay a lot of attention. Our intelligence agencies are equipped with modern technology and equipment, increasing their professionalism and efficiency. Of course, we will always work for its part in close contact with the partner countries. "

The Head of State noted that Azerbaijan`s independence, in recent years has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to confront any threats.

The President noted that tensions, confrontation in the confessional, ethnic violence grow recent times: “It is a great danger for the whole world and for our country. All our countries are multiethnic and multi confessional. And in all of our countries have peace and understanding among all the peoples who live in our territory. This, I believe, a very great merit of our people and, of course, the leadership, which is the correct policy in this direction. We demonstrate by example and cooperation in the political sphere, in the economic, social, cultural, security. We are demonstrating that, as it were, to this or treated in some quarters, the principles of multiculturalism live and win. "

According to the president of Azerbaijan, issues related to the education level, are directly related to safety: "Because brainwashing, radical ideology are the soil where education is not given due importance. One of the advantages that we have inherited from the Soviet past, this is the education and literacy. In our countries, the absolute literacy, and it is an achievement that we preserve and must remain. Contacts that exist at different levels between our citizens, especially young people, are also an important factor in strengthening security. Because young people know each other, to go to visit, communicate, make friends and, of course, will perceive each other as friends and partners. So that the work of the security forces can not be divorced from the policy of the state. We in Azerbaijan are conducting a consistent policy aimed precisely at strengthening cooperation, mutual understanding, mutual agreement, inter-religious world, and, as a multinational state, proud of all citizens of our country. And I think that is the main basis for such a successful development of Azerbaijan in terms of strengthening security, solve economic, social issues and the development of the country”.
