"Notwithstanding the progress made towards normalization through bilateral negotiations, the ongoing tendency of revanchism in Armenia, and the rapid militarization of this country with the direct support of foreign forces continue to be the most serious obstacles to the finalization of the normalization process against the backdrop of the Armenian side's failure to demonstrate political will to change the provisions in the Armenian Constitution and other normative legal acts including territorial claims against Azerbaijan," this was reflected in the press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the results of 2024, APA reports.
"In this context, Armenia's position to maintain the formal existence of the former Minsk process institutions of OSCE, which has lost their relevance, ended their activities, and lost their 10 functionality in emerging new realities, continues to seriously question this country's commitment to the normalization agenda.
On the one hand, the rapid militarization of Armenia by the forces outside the region, and on the other hand, the promotion of a baseless smear campaign against Azerbaijan on various international platforms has seriously hindered the negotiation process from reaching a logical conclusion throughout the year. As a result of systematic, consistent, and decisive steps taken by Azerbaijan, this campaign, which gained momentum by abusing the organization of COP29 in our country, has been significantly neutralized, as well as continuation of the normalization process exactly within the framework of the agenda put forward by Azerbaijan was ensured," the press release stated.
