Trend:
A new situation has emerged now, and today's geopolitical realities in the region have been accepted by the world community, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the meeting with President of Russia Vladimir Putin, Trend reports.
"The Russian Federation has played a very important role in stopping the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia and moving the conflict from a hot phase to a political-diplomatic one. The Trilateral Statement signed with your active participation in November 2020 allowed us the opportunity to resolve this long-standing conflict. A new situation has emerged now, and today's geopolitical realities in the region have been accepted by the world community. Russia plays a very important and, I would say, the key role in the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the opening of transport communications, and the creation of opportunities for normal neighborly relations. We appreciate this role very much. We hope that the Armenian side, like us, will fulfill all the provisions of the Statement it signed in November 2020," the head of state said.
