    Ilkham Aliev sure that his policy serves people's interests

    BAKU, March 12 (Itar-Tass) - Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliev
    assessed the first four months of his presidency on Thursday. In his
    speech at a board meeting of the New Azerbaijan ruling party, of
    which he is a vice-chairman, Aliev said that his policy in recent
    months had served the interests of the Azerbaijani people and had
    enlisted popular support.

    The Azerbaijani president stressed that his policy was a logical
    continuation of a course that had been chosen by his father Geidar
    Aliev. Azerbaijan doesn't have an alternative to this course, he
    added.

    Aliev said that Azerbaijan's leadership had directed its activities
    at developing the country's economy, social problems and the
    strengthening of Azerbaijan's positions in the world community.
    Ilkham Aliev also noted that the course pursued by the new
    Azerbaijani leadership had enlisted international support.

    Defining the guidelines for a long-term perspective, the Azerbaijani
    president stressed the need to step up efforts to settle the Karabakh
    conflict. He urged Azerbaijan's diplomats to focus efforts on
    eliminating double standards with regards to the Karabakh problem
    among international organizations and international public. `This
    process is already under way and is gaining good results,' Ilkham
    Aliev went on to say. He said that economic development was another
    vital area for activities. `The chief economic goals in the next five
    years include the doubling of the GDP, the solution of social
    problems and the creation of 600,000 new jobs,' Ilkham Aliev
    stressed.

    The Azerbaijani president said that he would continue relying on the
    New Azerbaijan party that has always supported him. `I cannot imagine
    my political activities without this party,' Ilkham Aliev said. He
    has headed the New Azerbaijan party since his father's death.

    Ilkham Aliev stressed the importance of preparing the country for
    parliamentary elections slated to be held in Azerbaijan in the autumn
    of 2005.

    `We should think who is going to represent our party at these
    elections,' the president stressed.
