00:00Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev accused European institutions of bias.
00:06during a meeting with representatives of Muslim religious organizations and conferences
00:11international affairs in Baku. He stated that the peace process with Armenia continues, but also
00:17He stressed that Azerbaijan will increase its military power.
00:21The meeting was attended by members and observers of the Council of Muslim Religious Leaders
00:27of the Organization of Turkish States, co-organizers of the Yahya Bakubi International Conference,
00:33as well as representatives of the Supreme Religious Council of the Peoples of the Caucasus.
00:39Aliyev accused the Council of Europe and the European Parliament of supporting Armenia and implementing a
00:45double standards towards Azerbaijan, describing the European Parliament as a nest of corruption.
00:52I say this with full responsibility. The European Parliament is a nest of corrupt officials. Millions of
00:59Dollars were taken out in suitcases from the vice president's house and it was all covered up.
01:05as if it had never happened. Her name is known. She is a Greek MEP.
01:10How many years have passed since he was arrested? Has any action been taken against him? No.
01:17Has he been held accountable? No. He's been released. Look at the European Parliament. It's
01:25composed of Islamophobes, and this should always be under scrutiny. The president established
01:32a connection between Azerbaijan's restoration of full control over Karabakh in
01:37September 2023 and the subsequent decision against the Azerbaijani delegation. According to their
01:43The statement said that this decision was a response to the Baku operation. Aliyev expressed his hope
01:49that the peace process with Armenia will be lasting. At the same time, he noted that the past war and the
01:54The devastation will not be forgotten, and Azerbaijan will remain vigilant on security matters.
02:00The president presented military power as one of the guarantees of sovereignty and
02:05territorial integrity of the country. In his opinion, the emergence of the power factor in relations
02:11International relations force Azerbaijan to increase its defense capabilities.
02:15The meeting also addressed the expansion of regional conflicts. Aliyev highlighted the
02:21importance of joint efforts to maintain peace in the Turkic world and the Caucasus.
02:27Aliev asserted that an undeclared war is being waged against the Islamic world and described it as
02:32Islamophobia as an integral part of it. He pointed to the solidarity of Muslim countries as the
02:39Our main response to this pressure. These offensive acts against our values,
02:45against the Holy Quran, which discredit the Muslim world, equating it with terrorism.
02:50Do you think this is happening by chance? No, it's a deliberate policy. What should we do to counter this?
02:57Our unity. That's why this call for unity is not just a slogan.
03:04Azerbaijan is one of the few Muslim-majority countries that participates in European organizations. That's why
03:09We know what's happening there. As a member of the Council of Europe, we have faced
03:14We face, and will likely continue to face, these injustices. This smear campaign is not
03:21The oppression declared against us will never cease. Why? Because we bow down to no one and we do not...
03:27We will bow. We say what we think. We protected our national identity. We protected our
03:33way of life. We do not allow certain trends foreign to our people and religion to take root in
03:40Azerbaijan. I've broadened the scope of our meeting a bit. That is, simply to
03:46to back up my points with facts. So, again, the main message is that everyone
03:53We must strive for unity. I repeat, the words of religious figures have a
03:59special significance for all Muslim countries, he declared. The president also announced that the summit of
04:06The Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be held in Baku next year. He called on the
04:12religious leaders to support peace and cooperation within communities.
