We have never shown duplicity or hypocrisy toward any country.

Operativ Media reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this during his speech at the 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP).

"Although we have repeatedly faced such attitudes and continue to face them today," the head of state said, noting that "we can never be like them." The president also emphasized: "We are self-respecting people, we live with dignity, and we conduct our policy with dignity. Everyone can see through our example that this is possible."
