BAKU: Azerbaijan will continue taking peace process with Armenia forward, said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov as he addressed the 16th Plenary Meeting of the UN General Assembly, Trend reports.
“Azerbaijan will continue to take this process forward, acting with a strong sense of responsibility for not only its national security and well-being, but also for ensuring a better future for the entire region. Our commitment and determination remain intact to bring this process to its logical conclusion,” he said.
Minister Bayramov explained that, for the finalization of the normalization process, Armenia has yet to legally abandon territorial claims against Azerbaijan once and for all through implementing constitutional amendments.
“Armenia’s negligence with respect to implementation of constitutional amendments, combined with dramatic increase in military budget, acquisition of large amount of offensive weaponry from both traditional and new suppliers, and attempts to maintain obsolet
e conflict-driven narratives and structures derails the normalization process. Establishment of peace and good neighborly relations cannot be sustainable and universal if recognition of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan remains in legal limbo,” the minister added.
