President Ilham Aliyev: “If Azerbaijan leaves the Council of Europe, nothing will change in our life”
“The issue of secession from the Council of Europe was touched upon here. You are well acquainted with our media, because I do not have information that this or that official Azerbaijani person expressed such an opinion. However, the media are free and can write whatever they want. We, of course, react to the mood of the public, and any government, first of all, must take public opinion into account. Unfortunately, public opinion related to the Council of Europe is not so positive,” said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with a delegation of the Political and Security Committee of the Council of the European Union.
