A deep economic and financial crisis continues in the world, and this crisis has become more serious especially in Eurasia.

This remark was made by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting on economic issues and preparation of the state budget for 2016 on September 8.

“An economic decline is being observed both in Europe and in Asia,” he said, adding that there are various objective and subjective reasons for it.

“Those reasons are of course being examined and will be examined by analysts,” President Aliyev said. “That’s not our job to do. Our job is to protect our country and its economy from negative processes going on in the world to the maximum extent possible.”

“We are able to do this, we do this successfully, we protect our country, and we ensure our country’s security, stability and economic development,” he noted.

President Aliyev further said that the causes of the political, military and economic crisis on the Eurasian landscape will be, of course, investigated.

“But now there is enough information to do an analysis, and we see that the main causes of this crisis are the violation of stability and the political interests of some countries,” the president said.

The head of state underscored that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the Middle East in the recent years.

“They have been killed in foreign interventions, bloody clashes, and there seems to be no end to this war, to these clashes,” the president noted. “On the contrary, new hotbeds of war emerge and innocent people suffer.”

He also said the situation in the post-Soviet area is becoming increasingly tense, both bloody clashes, and political and economic crises prevail there.
