Azerbaijan has unilaterally lifted restrictions on the transit of goods to Armenia, signaling a significant shift in regional logistics and trade dynamics.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that President Ilham Aliyev made these remarks during an interview with a correspondent from the France 24 television channel in Munich.
"We have also started supplying essential oil products to Armenia, thereby initiating our trade relations. Thus, we can see that peace has already been achieved. There are certain formal matters to address in order to sign the final peace agreement. However, alongside the declaration you mentioned, the foreign ministers of both countries initialed the text of the peace agreement in Washington. Therefore, for me, this is already a completed task. I believe the Prime Minister of Armenia shares the same view. We are learning to live in peace right now, and it is a very good feeling," President Ilham Aliyev stated.
This development follows years of diplomatic efforts to normalize relations between the two South Caucasus nations. The lifting of transit barriers and the commencement of energy supplies represent practical steps toward economic integration and regional stability. The involvement of international mediators in Washington and Munich underscores the global significance of establishing a lasting peace in the region, which is a vital corridor for energy and transport between Europe and Asia.
