Szijjarto urges pragmatic approach to energy security

The issue of energy security requires a pragmatic approach and "common sense" instead of philosophical and ideological debates, Peter Szijjarto, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said in Baku on Thursday. Energy security is the most critical issue on the international political stage today, but the topic is now "absolutely overpoliticised" and being turned into an ideological question, Szijjarto told the 27th Baku Energy Forum, according to a ministry statement.
