Bayramov sees optimism in the response from Yerevan
Baku/14.12.23/Turan: The joint statement of Baku and Yerevan was a serious step towards building trust, stated the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Ceyhun Bayramov at a joint press conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. "At the end of November, Armenia submitted a package of proposals for a peace treaty, and some progress is being made on this issue. Baku is currently studying these proposals. In any case, we are looking forward with optimism," Bayramov said.
Commenting on the statement of the Armenian Foreign Minister that the issue of the mutual withdrawal of troops on the border is being discussed, Bayramov said that there is no such agreement yet. This issue can be considered in the context of border delimitation, he said.
As for the reports from Yerevan that the next meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan will be held in January in Washington, the Foreign Ministry did not confirm that such an agreement has already been reached.
In turn, Hakan Fidan said that normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan will lead to normalization of relations between Ankara and Yerevan and the opening of borders between the two countries. -0-
