The world press widely covered the speech of the President of Azerbaijan at the EPC summit

A number of leading global media outlets extensively covered the online address by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the 8th Summit of the European Political Community (EPC) on May 4 in the Armenian capital Yerevan.

In the published materials, the president's address is presented along two parallel lines: both as the formation of practical cooperation within the framework of the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and as an ongoing diplomatic confrontation against the backdrop of political tensions with European institutions.

Italian Agenzia Nova, Swiss Swissinfo, and Argentine Infobae emphasize the presence of progress toward the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, supporting this with concrete steps in the economic and transport spheres. The articles inform readers that the President of Azerbaijan sharply criticized resolutions adopted by the European Parliament and other structures, and characterized this approach as unfair.

The Russian publication Kommersant, in an article headlined "Aliyev accuses European Parliament of sabotaging peace process with Armenia," covers the address by the President of Azerbaijan, emphasizing the political context. The newspaper notes that the Azerbaijani leader conveyed optimistic messages regarding the peace process while also sharply criticizing Western institutions.

Overall, Russian media present the news along two main lines. On one hand, the advancement of the peace process in the South Caucasus is placed at the forefront, while on the other, the deepening of political contradictions with Western institutions is highlighted.

The Moroccan news platform A5R5BR also primarily focuses on President Ilham Aliyev's criticism of European institutions, particularly the accusations against the European Parliament of interfering in and undermining the peace process.

The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA Lebanon) places emphasis on President Ilham Aliyev's accusations against the European Parliament of negatively impacting the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process.

The Emirati publication Voice of Emirates follows a similar line. The article focuses key attention on President Ilham Aliyev's statements about the suspension of relations with the European Parliament, as this structure obstructs the Azerbaijani-Armenian peace process.

In materials published in the Georgian press (1TV, IPRESS, On.ge, Netgazeti, NewsHub, and other media outlets), it is emphasized that a de facto peaceful environment has already been established in Azerbaijani-Armenian relations and stability has been achieved between the parties. Economic ties, transit projects, and regional communication lines in particular are presented as practical indicators of this progress.
