Davos: 'We were faced with unjustified criticism over both Eurovision and COP,' said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he responded to questions from business representatives from various countries during an event titled 'Azerbaijan Executive Breakfast,' held as part of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, APA reports.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, President Aliyev noted that the unjustified criticism was more focused on COP29. He highlighted that Azerbaijan was criticized for being an oil-producing country while hosting COP. He pointed out that there have been other countries, both prior and subsequent to Azerbaijan, that produce significantly more oil. President Aliyev emphasized that Azerbaijan should not face blame for having oil resources. He insisted that the nation should be assessed on how it manages its oil wealth and ensures its fair distribution within society.
