Energy-rich Azerbaijan has become a major geopolitical and security factor.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that President Ilham Aliyev made the remarks while addressing the 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP).
“Energy security means the national security of every country, and our role will grow further,” the head of state added.
Azerbaijan is a major energy producer and supplier, and its energy infrastructure connects resources in the Caspian region with international markets. Energy security has become an increasingly prominent concern for countries seeking reliable supplies.
