“We can achieve peace in the Southern Caucasus. It is reachable. The latest developments in the negotiation track between Azerbaijan and Armenia demonstrate that,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the session titled “Azerbaijan's role in the new geopolitical environment” at the International Cernobbio Forum.
“We are actively continuing negotiations, with almost 80 percent of the peace treaty paragraphs having been approved. We have already started the border delimitation process, and not only delimitation but also demarcation. Yes, it’s a first small step. Only about 13 kilometers of our border, which is more than 1000 kilometers. But it is a step in the right direction and we hope that Azerbaijan’s initiative to start peace negotiations will result in a peace treaty,” the head of state pointed out.
