BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. The older
generation probably remembers well their sweet words, toasts raised
to health, their fluent speech in the Azerbaijani language, and
even their performing Namaz, President Ilham Aliyev said during his
speech at the 8th Congress of the New
Azerbaijan Party (YAP).
"I would like to share some thoughts regarding the tasks ahead
today. I periodically make statements about the work that needs to
be done, including in interviews and speeches. I believe that the
situation in the world is changing so rapidly today that there is a
great need for this. First of all, one of the main tasks is to
increase our military power. A question may be asked: we have won a
glorious Victory, Armenia was forced to sign a capitulation act.
Today there is no conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, there is
no war, there is tranquility at the borders. The peace agreement
has been initialed, and contacts are already taking place.
Azerbaijan has even started trade with Armenia. Why is this
necessary? The answer to this, in my opinion, is very clear and
obvious. This is always necessary, for every country. Because our
people faced this tragedy. Our people faced the ingratitude of the
Armenians. That is to say, the older generation probably remembers
well their sweet words, toasts raised to health, their fluent
speech in the Azerbaijani language, and even their performing
Namaz," President Ilham Aliyev noted.
The 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) was held
yesterday 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 to 19. A total of 16,239 people attended the
conferences.
The reporting conferences heard reports on work carried out to
fulfill the tasks set after the 7th Congress and discussed the
results achieved.
