Moreover, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev had earlier proposed a platform for negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
"I applaud the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers' agreement to negotiate a peace treaty on the Kazakh side's proposal. It is symbolic that this important event will take place in Almaty, where in December 1991 the historic Alma-Ata Declaration was signed, which consolidated the foundations of the independent development of the CIS countries and approved the principles of defining interstate borders.
