00:03Değerli,
00:04... yapımı halinefizde,
00:09...
00:09... ve de kardeşlerinizle.
00:12Bu yüzden Azerbaycan'ın,
00:15...
00:16...
00:16...
00:17...
00:17...
00:17...
00:18...

00:21İzlediğiniz için
00:28...
00:29Yeni yılında TÜ'ye kadar uzaklaştık, daha fazla 100,000 TL'ye kadar uzaklaştık.
00:37Yeni yılında 200,000 TL'ye kadar uzaklaştık.
00:42Tü'ye kadar uzaklaştık, 500,000 TL'ye kadar uzaklaştık.
00:45Bu nedenle, bu seaportu'ya başladık,
00:49ve bu seaportu'ya kadar uzaklaştık.
00:59Regional connectivity projects,
01:02not only railroad,
01:03but also fiber-optik.
01:05We are now working closely with our Central Asian partners
01:09of building the fiber-optik cable under the Caspian Sea,
01:13which should be ready this year.
01:17And also thinking about new opportunities
01:20after peace with Armenia has been achieved.
01:24Corridor which goes through Azerbaijan to Armenia
01:28and further to European destination
01:31has also great potential with respect to the volume of cargos.
01:36Azerbaijan on its territory now
01:38is investing in the railroad construction.
01:42total length of the railroad to be constructed and renovated
01:48is 600 km.
01:51On Azerbaycan territory,
01:54in both parts of Azerbaijan,
01:55in mainland,
01:56and Nakhchivan exclave.
01:58the length in Armenia is something more than 40 km.
02:03So as soon as it is done,
02:06we will have two extensions of the middle corridor
02:08going through Azerbaijan,
02:09and this will be to the benefit of the west, the east,
02:13and of course,
02:15the country which are situated in the southern Caucasus.
02:22I hope we will sign peace agreement this year.
02:25I already spoke about that on numerous occasions,
02:28saying that the very fact that peace agreement was initialed
02:34in the White House,
02:36in the presence of the United States,
02:39plus a joint declaration which was signed by the Prime Minister of Armenia
02:44and myself,
02:45was also signed by President Trump as a witness.
02:48All that is enough to say that peace already is achieved.
02:53And since August up to now,
02:56we not only enjoy absolutely new situation on our border
03:01when there are no shootings,
03:03no victims,
03:04no wounded,
03:05no problems,
03:06but also we started physical cooperation with Armenia.
03:11We lifted all the restrictions
03:13on the transportation of cargo
03:16through Azerbaijan
03:18and we are grateful to our Georgian friends
03:21that they provide very important transit
03:25after the goods reach Azerbaijan to Armenia through Georgia.
03:30We also started supply of oil products for Armenia,
03:35which is a critical product for them,
03:38and thus actually started a mutual trade.
03:41So from point of view of a formal peace deal to be signed,
03:46everything depends on when Armenia's constitution is amended,
03:51in order to deduct the territorial claim to Azerbaijan,
03:57which is existing there for three decades.
04:01And the next day after it is done,
04:04the peace agreement formally will be signed.
04:07But in the meantime,
04:09Trump's route for international peace and prosperity
04:12also will play instrumental role in creating the new connectivity links.
04:18As I already said,
04:20transportation route from China, Central Asia,
04:24Trans-Caspian, Azerbaijan,
04:27Armenia, Azerbaijan's,
04:29Exclave, Nakhchivan,
04:30Turkey and further down to Europe
04:32will create absolutely new situation.
04:35It will be beneficial to all the countries.
04:38All the countries on route will be more politically
04:41and economically integrated.
04:44And this will be another contribution to long-lasting
04:48and eternal peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
04:53Because peace can be achieved when you really have peaceful process.
05:00Signing the document is important.
05:03It's a foundation.
05:04But no less important is then what you do after.
05:09The time from the last bloody clash between Azerbaijan and Armenia
05:14to Washington summit was less than two years.
05:17I think this is a record number in all the conflicts,
05:23especially the conflicts which lasted for three decades.
05:26So both sides demonstrated strong political will to put an end to this confrontation
05:33and to open the chapter of peace.
05:36And we live in peace only for six months.
05:39And believe me, it's a very special feeling.
05:42It's a very good feeling which is shared by all the population of Azerbaijan
05:46and I'm sure of Armenia.
05:48And the connectivity projects and corridors, they will unite us even more,
05:55make us interdependent, create absolutely new situation in the Southern Caucasus
06:02where Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia will at last start interaction on trilateral grounds.
06:10Signing of the peace agreement this year would definitely be very good news,
06:14something we need in these turbulent times.
06:16But Commissioner, I wanted to ask you...
06:19The very fact that TRIP bears the name of President Trump
06:23means that this corridor will be important for this administration
06:29and maybe beyond the term of this administration.
06:33Otherwise, the President would not have given his name.
06:37Giving the name means that it will be done and after the name was approved,
06:41we are absolutely confident that United States will be part of that.
06:47And according to information we have now, United States and Armenia
06:51are discussing the parameters of the functioning of the company
06:56which will be entitled to physical construction and investments.
07:02It's already from open sources we know that 76% of the company will belong to United States,
07:1024% to Armenia for the first 49 years.
07:17And then there will be another 49 years.
07:20In other words, this format will be functional for one century.
07:26Second, as you correctly mentioned, there have been different approaches from American administration
07:35to connectivity projects in our region.
07:38And only when President Trump came to power we started to see big interest.
07:44In other words, all what has been done by countries of the region, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
07:53by our neighbors across the Caspian and Central Asia was done without any practical American involvement.
08:01So we did it together with Turkey ourselves.
08:04We can name the oil pipeline through Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey,
08:10gas pipeline which stretches down to Europe, Bakud-Bilisi cars, railroad,
08:17all was done without any American practical involvement.
08:21So we did it ourselves.
08:23Today when we have such a big asset as President Trump's administration concentrated on that,
08:29of course the potential of implementation of these large-scale projects is much more large-scale.
08:38One thing I also want to underline, we talked about the countries of the region.
08:44We should not forget our neighbors across the Caspian in Central Asia
08:49because without them it will not be possible to ship any cargo from China to Europe.
08:57So it's China, Central Asia, Caspian, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Europe.
09:03This is the geography.
09:06And Azerbaijan now already is very active in interaction with Central Asian countries.
09:13Last November, Azerbaijan was officially incorporated into C5.
09:19Central Asian 5 became C6.
09:22This is unprecedented development because we are country of the Southern Caucasus,
09:29but we are the members of Central Asian Consultative Council.
09:34And a lot we do on connectivity.
09:37And a lot is being done between Central Asian countries and China on connectivity.
09:43Along with the existing roads, which Madame Helga underlined,
09:48there is also the road which is being built and financed by China,
09:55another road to the Caspian.
09:57Apart from the existing from China, Kazakhstan Caspian,
10:01China is financing now China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan Caspian.
10:07And again it comes to the Caspian.
10:09That means it will come to Azerbaijan and further down through the Southern Caucasus to Europe.
10:14So a lot of geopolitics, a lot of international relations, a lot of diplomacy.
10:20And Azerbaijan is a country which managed to initiate and lead these transnational projects,
10:27like oil pipeline from Baku to Mediterranean, gas pipeline from Baku to Italy,
10:34going along the route of many countries with all of them having good relations.
10:40So it will be another very strong political guarantee for cooperation on the very large geography of Eurasia.
10:49Commissioner, you want...
