Aggression and hostility in the rhetoric of both societies and government representatives of both countries are decreasing.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan made these remarks regarding Azerbaijan-Armenia relations during a meeting of the Parliamentary Commission on Foreign Relations.
“To say that all issues have been resolved, that there are no problems, and that peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is completely seamless would be an overstatement. Ultimately, there has been a conflict lasting many years, much blood has been shed, and the wounds are still fresh,” the minister stated. However, he emphasized that despite these challenges, the level of mutual aggression and hostility between the two states is steadily declining.
The normalization process between Azerbaijan and Armenia has gained momentum following the restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. Official Baku has repeatedly proposed a peace treaty based on five fundamental principles of international law, including mutual recognition of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Recent diplomatic efforts have focused on border delimitation and the opening of regional transport communications, which are seen as vital steps toward establishing lasting stability in the South Caucasus region.
