A new status quo based on law, legitimacy, and the norms and principles of international law is currently forming in the Caucasus region, according to a senior Azerbaijani official.
As reported by the Operative Information Center-OMM, Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, made these remarks during a speech at Garabagh University. He emphasized that the shifting dynamics in the South Caucasus are paving the way for a more stable and legally grounded regional framework.
Hajiyev noted that this week marked another historic moment in the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "The Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan visited Armenia, where various items on the agenda were discussed at the government level between the two countries. This included economic and trade relations, political dialogue, as well as the delimitation and demarcation of borders—as typically occurs between neighboring countries," Hajiyev stated.
The presidential aide further added that the supply of specific goods to Armenia is becoming a new norm in bilateral relations. "This also contributes to the strengthening of Armenia's energy security and general prosperity. We are considering the possibility of importing various goods, and the business communities of the two countries are already operating jointly," he said.
Hajiyev emphasized that a broader resolution of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan ensures the security of both nations, particularly given the emergence of new flashpoints of tension globally. The establishment of lasting peace in the South Caucasus is seen as a vital component for regional integration and the opening of transport communications, which Azerbaijan has consistently advocated for following the restoration of its territorial integrity.
