President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevEuronews:In an interview with what in the coming months and even years, stability in the world is unlikely to realistically assess the terms of the settlement of large conflicts.
In today's rapidly changing world, there will be no global stability in the coming months or even years, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Euronews.
On Thursday, Aliyev said that the world has entered the "stage of developing new rules and norms" on Thursday.
"The old world order seems to be disappeared. And no one knows what the new configuration of the international community will be like. There are different opinions, "Ali said.
According to him, "it is absolutely clear that every country should be more focused on its capabilities, not to be dedicated to foreign aid and even international law.
Aliyev said he prefers "realistic, not optimistic" about the main global players, the ability to find solutions to large conflicts, especially when it comes to Russia's war in Ukraine.
"Even if the war stops, there is no guarantee that it will not break out again," he said.
"We had a time when an agreement on the ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which was purchased in the spring of 1994, operated for almost 30 years, but it did not mean that the war was over, it was simply transformed. The war ends only when a peace agreement will be signed, "Ali said.
The South Caucasus region has been "confrontation and enmity" for decades, he said. Today, "it is important to protect the region from any crisis," he said.
"We are now in relatively quiet periods, so we need to focus on it, create security mechanisms that will be comprehensive, and try to live next to each other, as it was during the Soviet Union," said the President of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan, like other countries in the region, was one of the 15 other republics of the USSR when it declared independence in October 1991. Aliyev believes that the lack of independence means that none of the countries of the region can plan his future, and emphasizes that the republics have maintained the "active cooperation."
Speaking about the current state of relations between Baku and its neighboring Armenia, the President of Azerbaijan said that "the big advantage of today's situation" is seen in a quiet period of the last five years.
However, stability comes only by agreement, he said.
"There will be no stability until there is a peace agreement." Aliyev concluded.
