Azerbaijan ensures and will ensure its stability, security and development even under the most difficult conditions, Novruz Mammadov, the deputy head of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, chief of the administration’s foreign relations department, said in an interview with Trend and AzerNews newspaper.

Azerbaijan has chosen the right foreign policy, he said.

“We are on the right path and we have chosen right foreign policy tactics and strategy.”

The top official added that Azerbaijan is a model state and although it is a small country, it sends a strong message to all countries within the global processes and international relations.

“Let’s build such cooperation and ties that would help and become a drive for development for all,” he said. “Azerbaijan has built its activity exactly on these principles, and continues to work in this direction,” he said.

Mammadov also touched upon the relations between Azerbaijan and the EU.

“The Eastern Partnership summit has been recently held,” Mammadov recalled. “While adoption of a joint declaration, Azerbaijan clearly stated that if no fair position is demonstrated in this issue, no correct assessment is given to this cooperation, and certain states are shown different approaches, it would be impossible to reach the right results.”

“Therefore, we openly and specifically voiced our position,” said Mammadov.
