Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 27 /Trend I.Izzet/
It is clearly more than time for the UN Security Council Resolutions,
affirming Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and requiring Armenian
withdrawal are implemented, Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party
with special responsibility for relations with the City of London
Lord Flight said.
He made the remarks when answering questions from The European
Azerbaijan Society (TEAS), on the issues - TAP, British investments
on Azerbaijani economy, Azerbaijan's participation in international
peace keeping missions, Azerbaijan taking on the UN Security Council
Presidency, as well as the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
Azerbaijan's assumption of the UN Security Council Presidency next
month is important and should give Azerbaijan the opportunity to
become well-known in the world, Lord Flight believes.
According to him, the extent Azerbaijan handles the Presidency well,
should also make Azerbaijan better known and increase its reputation.
The fact that Azerbaijan has supplied troops for peace keeping
operations in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan should also be much better
known in the West and the West should recognize this more publicly,
he said.
Lord Flight also exchanged ideas about the economic projects.
"The new Trans Adriatic Pipeline is clearly of huge strategic
importance and should increase greatly Azerbaijan's importance to
Western Europe and it will also contribute to the development of EU's
energy security," Lord Flight said.
He went on to add that, in the first quarter of 2013 the UK accounted
for 44.1 percent of Foreign Direct Investment in Azerbaijan, making
it the largest foreign investor.
"I am pleased to note that the UK is the largest foreign direct
investor in Azerbaijan and this should clearly be of importance to
the UK stance towards Azerbaijan," Lord Flight said.
