“Also, as you know, since 2024, we have started to continue our activities as a think tank, and since 2024 we have published three books and prepared and released more than 40 reports. At the same time, we have prepared and submitted influential reports to international organizations and relevant international institutions. We have established successful cooperation with more than 9 overseas territories, unfortunately still suffering from colonialism, as well as with more than 15 countries affected by neo-colonial policies,” Abbas Abbasov noted.
