“After Azerbaijan liberated its territories from occupation in 2020, we made our first peace proposal to Armenia in 2021. A country that wins a war typically does not propose peace, but we did. We prepared the basic principles for a peace agreement. Between 2020 and 2022, we were unsure of Armenia’s intentions. Following that, we engaged in comprehensive discussions. These took place in the United States, Russia, and Kazakhstan. During these discussions, we tried to develop a peace agreement,” Mammadov said.
The deputy minister highlighted two major obstacles to achieving sustainable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan:
“One of them is related to Armenia’s Constitution. This obstacle is also reflected in Armenia’s Act of Independence, which includes a clause stating that ‘Karabakh is part of Armenia,'” APA quoted Mammadov as saying.
