    POWERFUL STATE, AND WE SHALL ACHIEVE IT"

    SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF AZERBAIJAN ILHAM ALIYEV AT THE MEETING
    WITH RESIDENTS OF OGHUZ DISTRICT
    [August 19, 2005, 17:04:30]

    Dear residents of Oghuz!

    Dear sisters and brothers!

    I cordially welcome all of you. The elder said here it's a first
    visit of Azerbaijan's leader to Oghuz. I consider it as significant
    day in my life because each region, each area of Azerbaijan is
    Homeland to me, is my Native land, and my purpose consists in
    maintenance of development of each region, each area, and each
    village of Azerbaijan. That they developed owing to work spent today
    in Azerbaijan on creation and an accomplishment even more.

    I never divided districts on greater and small. The population of
    district can be numerous or small. It what difference has no value.
    All areas of Azerbaijan for me are equal. I am very much pleased,
    when I see development of our regions when there is a work on an
    accomplishment and creation.

    As you know, the State Program of social and economic development of
    regions accepted by us one and a half year ago is realized. On a
    regular basis making trips to all regions, I get acquainted with
    execution of the given program, personally I am interested, as it is
    carried out, as Azerbaijan should receive an all-around development.
    All regions of Azerbaijan should develop, and opportunities for this
    purpose are. Our economy becomes stronger, grows, it is possible to
    tell, the highest in the world rates.

    It allows us, using additional financial resources to expand our
    activity, to achieve the further acceleration of creative work spent
    by the country. For one and a half year it is made much. On it was
    already informed. If to take into account a population of the country
    opening of 260 thousand new workplaces is not having analogue in the
    world a parameter .

    At the same time there are also problems, I build the activity first
    of all in a direction of the decision of the given problems. There
    are the general for our country of a problem, there are problems of
    each area, village. It is necessary for us to deal with all problems.
    The main task - to eliminate problems. Poverty, unemployment are the
    problems causing our concern. Owing to the work done for last years
    these problems also find its decision..

    The adopted programs, their successful execution, the done work allow
    to speak that all problems facing to us will be solved. For the
    present there was no such problem from which we would not consult.
    All forthcoming questions find the decision in the form of the
    program, the uniform concept, and purposeful policy. What a problem
    we put before ourselves, as in external, and internal policy, in our
    strategy of economic development, realization of oil strategy - in
    all spheres, all of them have found its decision.

    In that case, certainly, the confidence grows in people. People see
    all these positive changes and actively participate in the decision
    of problems. Only it by we can solve the given problems. Unity of
    authority and people - a primary factor.

    Normal development of Azerbaijan, preservation and strengthening of
    stability and order in the country, a policy of integration of
    Azerbaijan in the world community, our strategy of economic
    development - all these factors only in aggregate presume to achieve
    transformation of Azerbaijan into the rich, powerful country.

    For achievement of it we have all opportunities. There is a political
    will, our policy gets support of people. The geographical position of
    Azerbaijan and its growing authority on region allow us to protect
    our national interests even more confidently.

    The rich oil potential of Azerbaijan and successful execution of oil
    strategy of Heydar Aliyev allow us to get rid also in the further of
    financial difficulties. Azerbaijan possesses powerful personnel
    potential, human potential, and the fine nature, natural resources.
    Under these conditions we by all means should achieve huge progress
    of our country, its further economic strengthening. Pay attention,
    rates of our economic growth observed recently are not present in any
    country of the world.

    In the first 6 months of this year our economy has increased
    approximately for 17 percent. The budget in comparison with the last
    year has increased for 46 percent, and in following year will
    increase for 50 percent. In following year our budget, that is the
    means acting in treasury of the country, will make 3 billion 200
    million dollars. All these means will serve improvement of well-being
    of Azerbaijan people. Roads will be laid, power stations are
    constructed, solved problems on water and gas supply, and schools are
    constructed, wages are increased, pensions, grants of students are
    raised. It is only initial stage. From the beginning of next year the
    oil pipeline of Baku-Nbilisi-Ceyhan, being the largest our economic
    success and result of oil strategy of Heydar Aliyev begins to
    function. It will bring to our country the means estimated in
    billions of dollars.

    That is we are waited with the light future. I with greater optimism
    look ahead, because I know and I see, that waits Azerbaijan.
    Azerbaijan will strengthen the internal potential. We become stronger
    in regions. Certainly, force of our influence that will allow us to
    protect our national interests more reliably will increase also. Will
    find the decision and all other questions.

    Great value in this sense represent the forthcoming parliamentary
    elections wich will transparent, fair and assist our policy of
    integration into the world community. Azerbaijan could take a worthy
    place in the world community. We wish to strengthen this place to
    achieve even more reliable maintenance of our national interests.

    We have greater prospects in an agriculture, in the field of tourism,
    in the further work in this direction should be spent and in Oghuz
    district. Recently has started to function "Agro leasing", that will
    allow to provide peasants with techniques and fertilizers up to the
    mark that they were engaged in an agriculture even more effectively.

    I try to pay in the activity attention to all branches, to be engaged
    in all spheres. Army construction, foreign policy, settlement of the
    Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, economic development,
    opening of new workplaces, the decision of social questions,
    improvement of a social status of refugees and IDP's, the decision of
    social problems of disabled veterans of the Karabakh war , increase
    of wages and pensions , creation of a social infrastructure,
    construction of power stations, lining of roads - all this already
    finds the reflection in a daily life in the form of the program. In
    some years when the accepted programs will be successfully executed,
    in Azerbaijan there will be no serious problems. I very much would
    like, that our country became more powerful and rich. That each
    citizen lived easy, has been provided by work, received high wages
    and grows up for the future remarkable young generation, brought up
    youth in patriotic spirit. In this case our country will solve all
    forthcoming problems. I wish all of you successes in this business.

    Dear residents of Oghuz. I express you the deep respect and love. I'm
    here for the first time. However, earlier I passed from here, on
    these roads. But for the first time directly I communicate here, in
    Oghuz with it's inhabitants. Once again I wish you kind health,
    successes in affairs.

    Thanks.
