At the same time, our legislature - the Milli Majlis The President signs decrees, adopts state programs. The government takes steps to deepen reforms in daily activities. That is, all necessary measures are taken. In addition, the financial resources obtained as a result of our successful policy allow it. We are now one of the few countries in the world. , we do not depend on anyone, we are completely economically independent, we do not need any credit.
