30 January 2016 [11:15] - TODAY.AZ

Azerbaijani youth should know that the country’s main task is to restore its territorial integrity, return to historical lands and that the population of Azerbaijan should return and will return to the today’s lands of Armenia, said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

The president made the remarks at a meeting with a group of young people of the country on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the first Azerbaijani Youth Forum.

“Of course, time is needed for that. But it is our sacred goal, we all need to live with this purpose, and I am sure that today's successful development of Azerbaijan, as well as the growth of the population will lead to this,” President Aliyev said. “Each day we should bring this day closer through our activities.”

Azerbaijani president went on to add that a strong state is being built today, which enjoys great respect on the world scale.

“We must try to make our development sustainable,” the president said. “To achieve this, it is not enough to just have strong economy. Sustainable development requires that people who will be running the country in the future constantly contribute to the statehood and development.”

The president went on to add that Azerbaijan’s youth will be ruling the country in the future, adding that the fate of Azerbaijan will depend on them. Aliyev added that therefore, the country’s young people’s activities, attitudes and thoughts will be crucial for Azerbaijan in the future.

Ilham Aliyev noted that young people play an active role in strengthening the country.

“I appreciate the activity of young people both on the international arena and within the country,” the head of state said. “I see that young people, who are growing today, are attached to their nation and their state. It is very important that the youth is brought up in the national spirit. National values must come first for us.”
