(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27 . President Ilham
Aliyev has turned Azerbaijan into the leader of the region,
creating a new reality, Polish political scientist and candidate of
political sciences Jakub Korejba told Trend .
"President Ilham Aliyev managed to devise and implement his
strategy over the previous two decades of Azerbaijan's history. The
most serious difficulties facing modern countries, especially EU
members, are the absence of leaders and the lack of politicians who
want to accept responsibility," Korejba said.
He noted that Azerbaijan has a leader who fulfills his
promises.
"We can discuss not just economic but also political,
geopolitical, and military achievements over the last two decades.
This is all supported by statistics and facts. In my opinion, the
most important thing is how people's lives and Azerbaijan's
realities have changed. The purpose of the state and its
institutions is to improve people's lives. Over the years,
Azerbaijan has made significant progress, and it is now an entirely
new country with a distinct standard of living. Over the last 20
years, Azerbaijan has undertaken an ambitious political, economic,
and strategic agenda. It is a country that keeps up the pace, sets
new objectives, and is committed to achieving them. This could not
be accomplished without a strong and motivated leader. Azerbaijan
stands apart from other countries today due to its excellent level
of leadership. This is something that is absent in both the
post-Soviet space and Europe," Korejba said.
The politologist noted that one of the main achievements of
Azerbaijan over the past 20 years has been the restoration of
territorial integrity.
"Several post-Soviet countries failed to strengthen,
consolidate, and defend their sovereignty. Azerbaijan was able to
recover its geographical integrity, demonstrating its viability as
an independent, sovereign nation. Azerbaijan has firmly established
itself in the world scene and international relations system over
the last two decades. No one denies that Azerbaijan is a powerful,
modern, and independent country with complete authority over its
territory. Furthermore, Azerbaijan has not become an instrument of
battle between powers or different interest groups, which is a
significant achievement of President Ilham Aliyev," he said.
Korejba emphasized that President Ilham Aliyev not only
succeeded in restoring the country's territorial integrity but did
it masterfully from strategic and diplomatic points of view,
avoiding conflict with major powers and preserving good relations
with all main international partners.
"It required gigantic strategic endurance to choose the right
moment for the right actions, as well as understanding the logic of
the workings of modern international relations. Today, Azerbaijan
is a country that builds up constructive relations with all its
international partners. Azerbaijan has created a new reality in the
region, where Armenia has no choice other than constructive
cooperation with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan builds its international
relations in a way that demonstrates to each of its partners its
readiness to implement a positive agenda. Exactly the positive
agenda. Baku does not accentuate conflicts, contradictions, or
possible disputes. Baku focuses on positive potential. This is a
very unique quality in the modern world. Azerbaijan is always open
to its partners, always offers initiatives beneficial to each
party, and minimizes contradictions. This is a very valuable
quality. Especially for a country that is located in such a
strategically important region of the world," Korejba said.
The Polish political analyst noted that Azerbaijan behaves as a
leading country, a country that can be relied on.
"Even towards Armenia, which has caused a lot of misfortune to
the Azerbaijani people and committed crimes, Azerbaijan behaves as
constructively as possible. Honestly, if Azerbaijan had thought
differently and focused on a different scenario, Armenia could have
ceased to exist. Even in this regard, concerning such a problematic
partner as Armenia, we see Azerbaijan's constructive,
forward-looking proposal to solve problems and become regional
partners. This is a unique position in the modern world that
distinguishes Azerbaijan from other countries," Korejba said.
According to him, Azerbaijan is a key partner of the main
players in the international arena: the United States, the European
Union, Russia, and China.
"It is countries like Azerbaijan, which have proved they have an
independent sovereign agenda that they will defend and have a
responsible, constructive approach to partners, that become leaders
of their regions. The EU, China, Russia, and the US alike look to
Azerbaijan as the leader of the South Caucasus. Of course, several
countries, including EU countries, demonstrate a biased approach
towards Azerbaijan. The explanation for this is the collision of
interests. Some countries are trying to do some things to earn
money or to realize something at the expense of other countries.
Among them, there are countries in the European Union. There are
attempts to compel Azerbaijan to do something, to talk to
Azerbaijan in ultimatum language, but they are doomed to failure.
The Azerbaijani state, its institutions, and its army implement the
will of its people. Azerbaijan is always ready to cooperate with
countries that respect its sovereignty and independence. Because
the sovereignty of Azerbaijan is an issue that is not subject to
any negotiations or discussions," the Polish political scientist
said.
Korejba stressed that a sovereign, independent, strong
Azerbaijan, which realizes its agenda, is a guarantee of peace,
stability, development, and well-being not only of the South
Caucasus but also of neighboring regions, as well as the
preservation of peace in Eurasia as a whole.
