"We remember the time when President Trump was the head of the United States, and our relationship developed very successfully, unlike the last four years, when it completely deteriorated due to the unfair and unjust approach of the Biden administration toward Azerbaijan," President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with China's CGTN (China Global Television Network) in Davos, Report informs.
President Aliyev noted that previous experience working with President Trump was very positive: "We expect that these four years, which we consider lost years in U.S.-Azerbaijan relationship, will already be history, and we will restart."
"But among European leaders, there is a big uncertainty and, I would say a big concern. The reason is very simple. We all know how President Trump was treated by some of them, when he was not president last four years. We all know whom the most of them supported in this presidential election. If we know that definitely, President Trump knows it even better. We have already seen the first, I would say, disqualification. This is the Canadian Prime Minister. Just one word from President Trump about him was enough for him to resign," Ilham Aliyev said.
"That's not just because of certain political processes. It’s just because some Western leaders were very unjust to President Trump, and definitely they're concerned that now maybe the time has come for them to be responsible for that. This is my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't see any other serious reason to be concerned about the change in the United States. I think the world can become much safer. During the first term of President Trump, the United States didn't start any wars. This was also a unique experience, if you look at the history of the United States over at least the past several decades. As for Azerbaijan, we are certain and we are optimistic."
