BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 22
Trend:
I am sure that Russia and Azerbaijan will together continue to make a significant and, I would say, decisive contribution to the strengthening of peace in the Caucasus, to the strengthening of cooperation in the Caspian region and in the Eurasian space, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said making a press statement together with Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, Trend reports.
"Russia is our main partner in finding ways to normalize relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia today. There are opportunities for this. Azerbaijan has repeatedly stated its readiness to start work on a peace treaty, which will also cover the issues of clarification of borders, delimitation and other issues that are necessary for countries interested in regulating relations between themselves," Azerbaijani president said.
"The new realities in the region, I am sure, will usher ample opportunities. Azerbaijan is set for a peaceful future. We don't need war. We never needed it. The liberation of the Azerbaijani territories, the restoration of our territorial integrity by military means was a necessary measure, and our readiness to resolve this issue by political methods in the post-war period is another confirmation of our intentions. I am sure that Russia and Azerbaijan will together continue to make a significant and, I would say, decisive contribution to the strengthening of peace in the Caucasus, to the strengthening of cooperation in the Caspian region and in the Eurasian space," Azerbaijani president said.
"Once again, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, thank you for the invitation and for your hospitality. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the friendly and allied people of Russia continued success and new achievements," the head of state said.
