ANTALYA, Türkiye, April 17. Azerbaijan promotes
a peace agenda and sees a regional approach effective for the
resolution of conflicts, said Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign
Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration,
during a panel discussion at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in
Türkiye, Trend reports.
According to him, Azerbaijan played a key role in shaping the
new security situation in the South Caucasus region.
"The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is already in the past.
Azerbaijan has restored its territorial integrity and sovereignty
through political and military-political means," he said.
Hajiyev noted that Baku also supports the normalization of
relations with Armenia with the support of its international
partners.
"Last August, in the presence of the American leadership, we
initiated a normalization agreement between the two countries," he
recalled.
According to the Presidential Aide, previous external resolution
mechanisms have proven ineffective.
"For 30 years, the OSCE Minsk Group has been an externally
imposed format that has failed to provide a solution to the
conflict," he said.
Hajiyev emphasized that Azerbaijan is focusing on regional
responsibility and practical results.
“This demonstrates that when countries take full responsibility
for the region, they are capable of achieving results. Today, the
South Caucasus is a more peaceful region,” he added.
