00:08Speaking here at the fourth Shusha Global Media Forum, he said that the Secretary General of the Council has been
00:15in touch
00:16and asked him not to do so and to find a solution to the issue.
00:20It was not us who ruined relations, it was them.
00:24They deprived us from the voting rights without any legitimate ground.
00:32So what should be done is that they should restore the voting rights of the Azerbaijani delegation
00:39and after that the Azerbaijani delegation will come back.
00:44It should be exactly, as I said, not vice versa.
00:49We did not do anything wrong with them, therefore it was them who made that,
00:54unjust move and it should be them who should step back to find their courage
01:01and to admit that they made a big mistake.
01:04He also announced further oil shipments to Europe following agreements with Austria and Germany.
01:11Now, Azerbaijan currently supplied to 16 countries, 10 of them are members of the EU.
01:17And of course, these announcements come after recent visits to Baku from Ursula von der Leyen as well as Antonio
01:24Costa.
01:25We are number one in the world with this geography of supplying by pipeline gas.
01:33And more to come, we still are in negotiations with some members of the European Union
01:40and in order to start supply and in order to increase the supply.
