MR. ILHAM ALIYEV, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE 18th SUMMIT OF HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT OF THE NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT 25 October 2019 Dear Heads of State and Government, Dear guests, Ladies and gentlemen, I cordially salute all the participants of the 18th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement – welcome! I express my gratitude to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for the chairmanship in the Non-Aligned Movement from 2016 to 2019. The Non-Aligned Movement serves the cause of promoting universal values and demonstrates the commitment to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries. Having united 120 countries the Non-Aligned Movement is the second largest political institution to the United Nations General Assembly, where nations of the world are represented. Azerbaijan became a member of the Non-Aligned Movement in 2011. Within a short period of time as a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, our country has gained a great reputation in resolutely defending the norms and principles of international law. At the XVII Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement in 2016, a unanimous decision was made to hold the next summit in Baku and entrust the chairmanship of the Movement to Azerbaijan for the years 2019–2022. It is a manifestation of respect, trust, and confi dence shown to our country. I consider this as a support of the Non-Aligned Movement that unites in its ranks most states of the world to our policy and once again express my gratitude to you for this decision. During its chairmanship in the Movement, Azerbaijan will build its priorities and activities based on historic Bandung Principles. The Bandung Principles that embody respect to sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, non-interference into internal affairs, upholding of mutual interests and promotion of cooperation concur with the core principles Azerbaijan 54 / 2020 airs of the Republic ff of Azerbaijan’s foreign policy. We must increase our efforts to ensure universal compliance with the norms and principles of international law. In this regard, there is a great need for reforms in the activities of the United Nations. Changing of borders by force, violation of territorial integrity of countries XVIII SUMMIT OF THE NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT by use of force and interference into internal affairs are unacceptable. Journal of the Ministry of Foreign A Journal of the Ministry Foreign 4 AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI XARİCİ İŞLƏR NAZİRLİYİNİN JURNALI 54 / 2020 XVIII SUMMIT OF THE NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT Azerbaijan, during its chairmanship in the Non-Aligned Movement, will make efforts to establish and foster dialogue with other institutions and to expand the geography of cooperation. Since most of the NAM Member States are developing countries, developing of economic cooperation within the Movement is of great signifi cance. In this sense, Azerbaijan’s accession to the Group of 77 last month will further enhance our international efforts in the socio-economic area. It is very important to protect the interests of Member States within the UN through joint efforts. Special attention should be given to the challenges encountered by the least developed, landlocked and small island nations. Since 2005 Azerbaijan has rendered humanitarian and technical assistance to over 90 countries. The Agency for International Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan has implemented grant programs and projects in the spheres of poverty eradication, science, culture, healthcare, development of information technologies and effi cient use of water resources and other areas in different countries around the world. Since 2018 Azerbaijan has offered full scholarship to the nationals of the NAM Member States in higher educational institutions of our country. Today 37 students from 31 Member States benefi t from that program. Youth policy in Azerbaijan has been identifi ed as a priority. Azerbaijani youth are brought up in the spirit of national sentiment, traditional values, bond with homeland and patriotism. Thus, we have initiated the fi rst-ever Youth Summit of NAM. In the run-up to our Summit today, young representatives from 40 countries participated in the Youth Summit. Ladies and gentlemen, Dear guests, Azerbaijan’s independence is only 28 years old. One week ago, on October 18, we have celebrated the anniversary of the restoration of our independence. For more than 25 years the historic land of Azerbaijan – the Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts – roughly 20% of the country’s internationally recognized territory has remained under Armenia’s occupation. Armenia has conducted a policy of ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijanis and as a result over 1 million Azerbaijanis have become refugees or internally displaced persons. Back then Azerbaijan’s population was 8 million and at the time our country topped the list of the countries with the highest number of refugees and internally displaced people per capita in the world. Armenia perpetrated the Khojaly genocide against Azerbaijanis. As a result of the Khojaly genocide 613 innocent people, including 106 women and 63 children were brutally murdered just because they were Azerbaijanis. Over 1000 people went missing. Khojaly genocide was recognized internationally by more than 10 countries. In 1993 the UN Security Council adopted four resolutions that demanded complete Azerbaijan 54 / 2020 airs of the Republic and unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian forces from the Azerbaijani territory. ff Unfortunately, those resolutions were never implemented. Sometimes it is a matter of several days that the UN Security Council resolutions are implemented and then there are other instances such as with the confl ict that Azerbaijan faces when such resolutions remain on paper for 26 years.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking States, the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, OSCE and other prominent organizations have adopted resolutions and decisions demanding the restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. Seizing this opportunity, I wish to thank the Member States for their support expressed in the documents adopted by the NAM to the resolution of the confl ict in line with the UN Security Council resolutions and based on Azerbaijan’s

    June 18, 2009 Summary of JIIA Forum Presentation by Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs (Republic of Azerbaijan) “Azerbaijan at the Crossroad of East and West and Its Role in Regional Security and Prosperity” I am very grateful for having had the opportunity during my current visit to Japan to meet with the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Aso, Foreign Minister Nakasone, and other distinguished figures. In our discussions yesterday, the foreign minister and I exchanged views on the worldwide political situation and on UN reform. I informed him that Azerbaijan is in agreement with Japan on the need for UN reform and declared our support for making Japan a permanent member of the UN Security Council. On the Nagorno-Karabakh issue between Azerbaijan and Armenia, I received support for Azerbaijan’s stance on the territorial/border issue emphasizing the peace proposals put forth when the ceasefire was negotiated. Today I would like to talk about the priorities for Azerbaijan’s foreign policy: regional security and prosperity. Azerbaijan is situated at the junction of Central Asia and Europe, bordered by Russia to the north and Iran to the south, and it has access to the Caspian Sea and a wealth of energy resources. As you no doubt know, our country serves as a corridor in the southern Caucasus region for the transport of energy from Central Asia to Georgia and Turkey. Determining how to supply the natural resources our country possesses and to which international markets to supply them have become foreign policy issues. In the religious makeup of our country Muslims account for the majority, but there is toleration for other religions and Azerbaijan serves as a bridge between cultures.

  • A New Way for the Caspian Region: Cooperation and Integration
    A NEW WAY FOR THE CASPIAN REGION: COOPERATION AND INTEGRATION Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order. The region in one way or another connects Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Europe. As such it is the home to many civilizations; it is an energy and trade hub, and a gateway to the Far East countries, Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Caspian energy is of strategic significance for China and Europe. A trans-Caspian component to our energy development is a win-win for all. The Europe dimension is a part of Azerbaijan’s orientation. However, we are not knocking on the EU door asking for membership. This is a long-term perspective which should be considered and addressed in due time. Azerbaijan is committed to pursuing a multi-variable approach to regional development. In the end, success will depend on our ability to cooperate. Elmar Mammadyarov* * Elmar Mammadyarov is foreign minister of Azerbaijan. Introduction Energy trends in the global market have brought international attention back into the Caspian region. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Caspian region was marred by conflicts, corruption and state failure. Since then much has changed. The conflicts are protracted, corruption is being dealt with and states are increasing their internal institutional and human know-how. The energy sector is booming with the help of international partners and through domestic reforms on both the east and west coasts of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian region needs a multidimensional international outlook. Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order.

  • The Limits of Leadership
    Issue 17 2005 A ccor d 17 Concilia tion Resourc es The limits of leadership:elites and societies in the Nagorny Karabakh peace process Since the ceasefire of 1994,the conflict between Azerbaijan and a n i n t ern a t i o n a l re v i e w o f p e ace i n i t i a t i ve s Armenia over the region of Nagorny Karabakh has remained firmly deadlocked.An internationally-sponsored peace process based on closed talks between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders has yielded several proposals but no significant agreement.Rather than preparing populations for possible compromises,leaders in the region have long sought to bolster their domestic ratings with hardline stances.Their zero-sum approaches to the competing principles of territorial integrity and self-determination make renewed violence as likely as a peaceful resolution. With insufficient space in either society for the articulation of T constructive solutions or the identification of common ground, h e The limits of leadership:elites and societies in the Nagorny Karabakh peace N process highlights the obstacles to a sustainable agreement.In a go particular,it explores the central challenge of bridging the gap between r potential for agreement at the negotiating table and popular resistance ny to the compromises this entails. K a r a With distrust in the present process so widespread,could a more b inclusive and multi-faceted approach address the dynamics of ak h polarization and provide greater chances of reaching a solution p acceptable to all? ea c e Featuring contributors from diverse constituencies,this issue of p r Accord presents perspectives on the peace process and analysis of o c the impacts of the conflict.It explores the roles of civil society and the e media,the economics of war and peace,and the challenges for further ss democratization.It also contains key texts and agreements,profiles of key actors and a chronology of the peace process.
