Azerbaijani President "s New Year Address is devoted to the history

 In his New Year address the Azerbaijani President, Ilham Aliyev, called the  year 2013 a period of dynamic development.

In a televised address on the night of December 31 Aliyev talked only about the results of the outgoing year, noting only successes in the international arena and in national building.

The only topic that caused president’s regret , as before, was the Karabakh  conflict; according to Aliyev, it is impossible to  resolve the problem because of violations of international law in the world. "The Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved within the territorial integrity of our country," Aliyev said, noting that "in order to achieve this we need to become even stronger , have more powerful army, and ensure economic development."

In general, judging by the text  of the televised  address, Aliyev was pleased with the  results  of the 2013 year. However, he said nothing about future plans and outlined guidelines for citizens  of Azerbaijan for 2014 , as President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel did it. Merkel  even marked the national motto in 2014 for the always successful Germans, "I dare to do it!"

It is  unclear yet what the president of Azerbaijan is going to do in 2014, although his speech was longer than speeches of  Putin and Merkel. However,  practice  of the past years shows   that Christmas surprises do not have to wait long , and citizens  of the country will be soon  familiarize with them.—0—
