ANTALYA, Türkiye, April 17. Today, a
fundamentally new dynamic is emerging in relations between
Azerbaijan and Armenia, Vahan Kostanyan, Deputy Foreign Minister of
Armenia, said during a panel discussion at the Antalya Diplomacy
Forum in Türkiye, Trend’s special correspondent reports.
Kostanyan highlighted a shift toward dialogue and
future-oriented engagement.
“We are now witnessing a completely different dynamic. Today,
the focus is already on the possibilities of a shared future and
genuine dialogue. It is also symbolic that representatives of four
countries from the region are sitting at the same table today,
discussing prospects for cooperation,” he said.
Kostanyan noted that the South Caucasus is currently one of the
more stable regions globally.
“Amid disrupted logistics and supply chains in various parts of
the world, as well as ongoing conflicts and wars, the region is
demonstrating resilience.
However, this stability is not guaranteed forever. It is now
crucial to act swiftly and wisely to transform existing competitive
advantages into tangible economic and political outcomes. Following
the achievement of peace, made possible by the political will and
discipline of the parties, it is necessary to move to a new stage,
toward practical political decisions, open negotiations, and the
creation of additional links between the countries of the region,”
he added.
According to Kostanyan, this also involves shaping the South
Caucasus into a key hub of economic connectivity between Europe,
Central Asia, and the Far East.
“Ultimately, peace and stability form the essential foundation
for the region’s development,” he said.
