Azerbaijan reaffirms commitments to resolving ongoing issues with Armenia through peaceful means

17 Sep 2023 - 18:29

Azerbaijan has reiterated its commitment to resolving ongoing issues with Armenia through peaceful means but has raised concerns about Yerevan's financial support for the "so-called regime in Karabakh," which Baku says is not contributing to peace.


Adviser to the Azerbaijan president, Hikmet Hajiyev, emphasized Baku’s responsible standing in the international community in an interview published on Saturday by Russia's state-run TASS news agency, asserting that Azerbaijan consistently operates within the framework of its constitution and international law, always striving for peaceful resolutions to existing challenges.
Regarding potential compromises in negotiations with Yerevan, Hajiyev said Baku would not engage in discussions that jeopardize its territorial integrity and sovereignty, whether with Armenia or any other third party.
On the peace process and regional developments between Azerbaijan and Armenia, he highlighted the negotiations based on five fundamental principles, including mutual recognition of territorial integrity and sovereignty.
He pointed out that recent actions by the Armenian government, particularly Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's congratulatory message to the "self-proclaimed regime in Karabakh," have seriously harmed the process.
While Armenia has made public statements recognizing Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, the president's advisor noted that Armenia's financial support for the “so-called regime in Karabakh and the so-called regime's presidential election have not contributed to peace.”
