Bayramov and Lemmy discussed process of normalization between Azerbaijan and Armenia
Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov held a meeting with the UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Lemmy within the framework of the European Political Community Summit in Woodstock.
According to the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, during the meeting various aspects and prospects of the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom, issues of the regional and international agenda, as well as the current state of the process of normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia were discussed.
It was emphasized that there is mutually beneficial cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom in all areas, especially in energy, education and humanitarian relations.
The parties noted that the British companies are successfully operating in both the oil and non-oil sectors of the Azerbaijani economy and that there are ample opportunities for further deepening of cooperation.
It was noted that Azerbaijan's chairmanship at COP29 could help strengthen the focus on climate action on the current agenda.
Given the mine threat facing Azerbaijan, the importance of supporting the country in the area of humanitarian demining was underlined.
Bayramov provided an update on the situation in the region, including Baku's position on the normalization of relations with Armenia and work to restore liberated territories. Despite significant progress in the negotiations between Baku and Yerevan, the main obstacle in the peace process are claims to Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, which remains in the Armenian constitution and legal acts, the Minister said.
Bayramov expressed gratitude for the efforts of the British side in organizing a meeting of the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia with the participation of the British Prime Minister within the framework of the summit of the European Political Community. However, this meeting did not take place due to the refusal of the Armenian side, which does not contribute to the peace process.
