BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. All the blame
cannot be pinned solely on the previous leadership of Armenia. Even
though the previous Armenian leaders are all war criminals and must
face their punishment, President Ilham Aliyev said during his
speech at the 8th Congress of the New
Azerbaijan Party (YAP).
“The current Armenian leadership used to make territorial claims
against us, attempted to insult the Azerbaijani people, and
offended the dignity of the Azerbaijani people with inappropriate
and uncouth statements,” the head of state noted, adding that “we
must never forget any of this.”
The 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) is being held
at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku.
A total of 960 delegates were elected by YAP's district and city
organizations to attend the congress.
As part of preparations for the 8th Congress, reporting
conferences were held at 84 local party organizations from
September 7 through 19. A total of 16,239 people participated in
the conferences.
The reporting conferences featured reports on work carried out
to fulfill the tasks set following the 7th Congress, while the
results achieved were discussed.
