Ilham Aliyev has posted messages on his Twitter account about Karabakh,
education and the legal status of the Caspian Sea in recent weeks.
The president tweeted about the Karabakh conflict on 8 November,
the day of the funeral of Azerbaijani officers Mubariz Ibrahimov and
Farid Ahamadov, who were killed in clashes with Armenian forces along
the contact line separating Armenian and Azerbaijani troops.
"We do not want a war. Who would want a war? But we will never accept
this situation either...," the president said in one Twitter posting.
"We can never condone the second Armenian state to be created in our
native land - in Nagorno-Karabakh," the president said in another
tweet.
Education has been an important theme. On 27 November Ilham Aliyev
noted in one post: "I hope that most of our students studying abroad
will return to their Motherland and use their knowledge for its
development."
"Each year, hundreds of our youngsters are sent to the world's leading
universities & study there thanks to the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan,"
another tweet said.
"Our commitment to national values plays an exceptional role in forming
young generation & ensuring sustainable and independent Azerbaijan."
The Caspian Sea was another topic around the time of the summit of
the leaders of Caspian coastal states in Baku on 18 November.
"The Caspian Sea, which unites us, is a sea of friendship and
cooperation. It is a sea of peace, welfare & stability and it should
remain so," the president tweeted after the summit.
On road building and infrastructure projects, he said: "However, more
work is needed to be carried out on rural roads, interurban roads,
highways, and road junctions in future."
The president's Twitter account in English and Azerbaijani was opened
in July.
Ilham Aliyev now has 1,172 followers on his English-language Twitter
account and 669 on his Azerbaijani account.
He has posted 193 tweets in English and 160 in Azerbaijani.
