BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 5. The 17th summit of
the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) held in Azerbaijan’s
Khankendi can be assessed as an important political and economic
event not only at the regional but also at the global level. For
Azerbaijan, holding this summit in Khankendi is a symbol of both a
historical victory and the creation of a new global discussion
platform.
Khankendi is the heart of Karabakh, the ancient land of
Azerbaijan. The fact that an event of international significance
was held in this region, which had been occupied for many years, is
a message to the world: Azerbaijan’s historical right has been
restored, and now Khankendi is a place for regional and even global
cooperation and dialogue.
ECO is an important regional platform that serves as a bridge
between Asia and Europe, connecting 10 countries. The strategic
location of the ECO countries is important for energy resources,
transport corridors, and economic integration. The fact that
Azerbaijan hosted the ECO summit, including the fact that it was
held in Khankendi, testifies to the country’s regional leadership
and its active participation in global cooperation.
With the organization of the ECO summit in Khankendi, this city
becomes a venue for not only regional but also international
events, political, economic, and cultural discussions. This is a
diplomatic success for Azerbaijan, as well as a symbol of
stability, cooperation, and development in the region.
The ECO summit in Khankendi demonstrates both the regional
leadership of Azerbaijan and its contribution to solving global
problems. This means the revival of Karabakh and the transformation
of Khankendi into a global discussion platform. This summit once
again shows that Azerbaijan has become an influential center for
the development of the region, peace, and cooperation. In the
future, the role of Khankendi as a center of international dialogue
and cooperation will only strengthen.
