President Aliyev: Oil, gas sector key part of Azerbaijan's economy
President Ilham Aliyev has said that the key part of Azerbaijan’s economy is associated with the oil and gas sector, and this will continue to be the case for many years to come.
Ilham Aliyev made the remarks while attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Absheron field offshore operations at the Heydar Aliyev Baku Deep Water Jackets Plant on September 19.
"Today, the key part of the country's economy is associated with the oil and gas sector, and this will continue to be the case for many years to come," President Aliyev said. "I am not saying that other sectors are not developing, but no matter how much they may develop, they will not be able to catch up with oil and gas revenues in the near future. At the same time, our new projects such Absheron today, Garabagh a month ago and the implementation of other projects will further reinforce the important role of the oil and gas factor."
The present also congratulated the country’s oil workers on the oil day celebrated in Azerbaijan today.
"I would like to congratulate the oil workers on the upcoming professional holiday and wish them continued success," the president added. "Oil workers have always enjoyed great respect in Azerbaijan. It is still the case today, and the work of oil workers is true heroism. The profession of an oil worker is both respectable and risky, and I want to say again that their work is a real heroism. At the same time, oil workers have contributed a great deal to the successful development of our country."
