“President Ilham Aliyev expresses regret for this and conveys his greetings and best wishes to the summit participants,” said Asadov.
He pointed out that the BSEC was established 25 years ago in order to contribute to long-term, close cooperation.
“Unfortunately, over the past 25 years our region has become more dangerous and new conflicts have emerged. Moreover, the prospects for regional development are under serious threat,” said Asadov. “Human tragedies are growing, the scale of atrocities and brutality in the region has turned imaginations of many upside down. However, all this is not something new for the Azerbaijanis, especially for more than a million refugees and IDPs.”
Asadov added, Armenia violated the regional security and stability by continuing the occupation of nearly 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories.
He stressed that the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia impedes regional cooperation.
