Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev expressed concerns over the lack of global stability in an interview with Euronews, emphasizing that the world is going through significant changes. He highlighted that countries should focus on their own capabilities and not depend on external support or international law for conflict resolution. He illustrated this point by discussing the enduring nature of conflicts, citing the long-standing ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia as an example where peace remains elusive without a formal agreement. Aliyev stressed the importance of building inclusive security mechanisms in the South Caucasus region, which has faced confrontation for decades.
"The old world order seems to no longer be here. So what will be the new configuration of the international community's interaction, nobody knows. There are different opinions."
"Even if the war stops, there's no guarantee it will not erupt again. The war only ends when you have a peace agreement."
"It's important to protect the region from any crises around us. Now we have relatively quiet periods, so we need to concentrate on that to build security mechanisms that will be inclusive."
"What is absolutely clear is that every country should be more concentrated on its own capability, not to rely on any kind of assistance or even not to rely on international law."
