BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 16. Azerbaijan and
Armenia are closer than ever to signing a peace agreement, Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in his speech at the 16th
Congress of Turkish Ambassadors in Beştepe, Trend reports.
Erdoğan emphasized that the South Caucasus is experiencing a
historic moment after years of longing for peace.
“Azerbaijan and Armenia are closer than ever to signing a peace
agreement. We are also advancing the normalization process with
Armenia in dialogue with Azerbaijan. God willing, some symbolic
steps will be taken from the beginning of next year,” Erdoğan
said.
The Turkish president further denounced the recent aggressions
targeting commercial maritime assets within the geopolitical
confines of the Black Sea region.
“The recent mutual attacks seriously threaten maritime security
in the Black Sea. Targeting trade and civilian ships benefits no
one. We have communicated our warnings clearly and openly to both
sides regarding this issue,” he added.
The sixteenth iteration of the Ambassadors Conference is set to
convene in Ankara from December 15 through December 19, 2025. This
year's symposium, convened under the aegis of the theme "Foreign
Policy Advancing Peace, Stability, and Prosperity," will serve as a
platform for ambassadors to engage in discourse on both regional
and global challenges, alongside institutional considerations.
