The countries which are not rich with energy resources are naturally dependent on other resources, said the president.
Ilham Aliyev went on to add that Azerbaijan always had a goal to use the energy factor for intensifying the cooperation and has never used its potential for other purposes.
"We have had a desire to intensify the cooperation and ensure stability in our neighborhood, so that this stability would make it possible for us to implement the transnational projects, improve the welfare of Azerbaijani people and increase the power of our country," added the president.
There are no disagreements over the issues discussed in the Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council, because, all interests - the interests of producing countries, Azerbaijan, transit countries and consumer countries - are ensured there, President Aliyev underscored.
"We can reach our goal only by reconciling these interests. If one of the three parties pursued only its own interests, we wouldn`t achieve success. It is a very good example," he added.
