"Come up with the video in its full form," demands the COP29 CEO, Elnur Soltanov, in an exclusive interview with AnewZ. The chief executive has broken his silence on the claims he was using his position to organise potential fossil fuel deals.
"If they come up with the words, and if they don't want to tell everybody that this is pure speculation and fabrication, I think they should come up with the video in its full form," Elnur Soltanov, Chief Executive Officer of COP 29, told AnewZ in an exclusive interview.
Soltanov said this in response to the controversial article published by BBC, which suggests he used his position to promote a fossil fuel deal.
He also addressed how the media outlet conducted their work, calling it a "pre-mediated scheme".
Elnur Soltanov also spoke extensively about the necessity of striking a proper balance between traditional and green energy.
