The president of the host country for this year's annual United Nations Climate Change Conference slammed the West's hypocrisy regarding emissions and hailed oil and gas as a "gift of God, just like the sun, wind and minerals."
"Every natural resource, whether it's oil, gas, wind, sun, gold, silver, copper, all that are natural resources. Countries should not be blamed for having them, and should not be blamed for bringing these resources to the market," Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said during his opening remarks in Baku on Tuesday.
