“Because, our economic development was so far very positive, even in a much more complicated geopolitical situation, even during the times of occupation, our economy grew. And now when we restore our territorial integrity and sovereignty we are implementing large-scale economic reforms, which allow us to accumulate more funds into our budget. We have conducted very successful reforms in the customs and tax administration issues. We created a corporate management system in all our state-run companies, and we see the benefit of that".

Axar.az reports that President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev expressed this opinion in an interview with "Euronews" television.

“A lot of wealth will be generated from the connectivity projects. As I already mentioned, we expect additional tens of millions of cargo through the North-South and East-West transportation corridors crossing Azerbaijan's territory in different directions. It means employment, it means additional funds, and it means the geopolitical importance of Azerbaijan. If you look at the map of our region and Eurasia, you'll see that all the major transportation routes cross our territory. We've developed the most modern transportation infrastructure. That will create additional opportunities. Plus, the liberated territories of Garabagh and Eastern Zangazur, where we plan to resettle hundreds of thousands of former refugees, will also be an additional driver. So, frankly speaking, I don't see any potential risks neither in the economic area nor in any other area of our country,” the head of state noted.
