Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev used a keynote speech on Tuesday to say his country’s oil and gas industry had been the victim of a ‘well-orchestrated campaign of slander and blackmail’

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev speaks during the opening ceremony of the COP29 climate change conference, in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Nov. 12.Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev used a keynote speech at the COP29 climate summit to lash out at Western critics of his country’s oil and gas industry, saying it had been the victim of a “well-orchestrated campaign of slander and blackmail.”

Azerbaijan’s oil and gas revenues accounted for 35 per cent of its economy in 2023, down from 50 per cent two years earlier. The government says these revenues will decline to 22 per cent by 2028. “Unfortunately, double standards, a habit to lecture other countries, and political hypocrisy became kind of modus operandi for some politicians, state-controlled NGOs and fake news media in some Western countries,” he said.

This year’s summit is supposed to be focused on raising hundreds of billions of dollars to fund a global transition to cleaner energy sources and limit the climate damage caused by carbon emissions.
