"Today, the threats in our region are quite real. We are not reading about this in books; we are seeing it in real life," said President Ilham Aliyev.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the head of state made these remarks during the opening ceremony of the IV Shusha Global Media Forum.
Emphasizing the significant number of issues currently on the national agenda, President Ilham Aliyev stated: "In short, we must expand our capabilities, strengthen our defense, protect our national interests, and reinforce our practical cooperation with as many countries as possible."
The Shusha Global Media Forum serves as a critical platform for international dialogue, bringing together media experts, journalists, and policymakers to discuss pressing global and regional challenges. Since the liberation of Shusha, the city has increasingly become a venue for high-level international events, symbolizing Azerbaijan's commitment to regional stability and the reconstruction of its liberated territories.
