In modern times, extremely complex geopolitical events are taking place in the world. Against the backdrop of the emergence of numerous threats to national, regional and global security and the fact that countries are facing various political, military, economic, cultural, humanitarian and environmental challenges, the emergence of new power centers in the system of international relations and the process of transition to a new world order are being observed. In such circumstances, the protection of state interests, the independence and sovereignty of countries, and the unification of efforts for the sake of peace, stability, cooperation, and multilateral development are of exceptional importance.

Axar.az reports that these words were reflected in the address of President Ilham Aliyev to the participants of the international conference on the topic “New world order: geopolitical aspects and global challenges”.

"Despite four resolutions of the UN Security Council demanding the complete, immediate, and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian armed forces, Azerbaijan, 20 percent of whose territory was under occupation for nearly 30 years, faced double standards, biased and unfair treatment. As a result of the 44-day Patriotic War and a 1-day anti-terrorist operation, our country fully restored its territorial integrity and sovereignty with its strength. Thus, the victorious and powerful Azerbaijani state, dreamed of by the great personality and creator of the ideology of national statehood, the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, who saved the modern Azerbaijani state from a deep social, economic, and political crisis, was formed," the President noted.
