“Azerbaijan made a number of proposals to Armenia – to start working on a peace treaty, as we intend to talk about the world, and not about war. But unfortunately, this offer left without an answer.” President Ilham Aliyev said this, speaking on the 8th global forum “Peace after COVID-19”.
The president stressed that the conflict was resolved.
The head of state reported that Azerbaijan also proposed to start the process of demarcation and delimiting the border with Armenia to ensure the territorial integrity of the two countries.
“It all complies with international standards, but unfortunately, and this question has not yet found its decision,” Aliyev said.
According to him, Azerbaijan in the normalization of relations with Armenia shows the maximum constructivism.
“Azerbaijan manifests the maximum constructivism, and this, despite the fact that the territory of the country has been under the occupation of about 30 years and has undergone great destruction. We must look into the future and provide it as predicted and ready for large-scale cooperation,” said President.
Ilham Aliyev stressed that the further development of the situation will depend on the position of Armenia.
“Our position is definitely clear. We are ready for the beginning of peace negotiations and to signing a peace agreement. We want to turn this page and determine the borders, but as you see from Armenia there is no answer. We can say that for a whole year they save silence. I think that they will not be able to resist the constructive position of Azerbaijan. If for many years, when negotiations were conducted, they would have listened to us, and they would have behaved like normal people, now I wouldn’t have happened, “added Aliyev.
