"The dialogue on normalizing relations between Baku and Yerevan will be strongly supported, and we expect to reach a peace accord soon," the embassy said.
Negotiations between the Administration of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia resulted in an agreement to take concrete efforts to boost trust between the two countries.
The Republic of Azerbaijan released 32 Armenian soldiers as a peace gesture, guided by humanism values.
