“There is no doubt that President Ilham Aliyev has done great works to increase the image of Azerbaijan in the world. The economic growth, social welfare, international trade, freedom of speech, all democratic values of the open government, transparency and globalizing Azerbaijani market domestically and internationally makes Azerbaijan a special place in the world. It is my duty to continue and write about a story of this success. In 2019 Azerbaijan will not have any poor people.
