“We have also suffered from the selectiveness of some international actors," President Ilham Aliyev said during the opening ceremony of the 13th Global Baku Forum, APA reports.
“Fortunately, we are now living in peace, actually for only seven months, and this demonstrates once again that you just need to demonstrate strong political will, courage, and commitment to the cause of peace and justice in order to achieve it. In our case, it took many years, almost 30 years, before we restored our sovereignty and territorial integrity. We did it in line with the UN Charter, Article 51, the right of self-defense. We liberated occupied territories by force and achieved peace by political means. So we have experience — I would say a unique experience now on a global scale of being occupied, with a million people subject to ethnic cleansing. Almost 20 percent of the territory was occupied for almost 30 years. We were suffering from the lack of international attention and the selectiveness of some international actors who were supposed to deal with the conflict,” the head of state noted.
