‘Peace is an uphill struggle’: Azerbaijani official

We have more lines from the panel discussion titled “Armenia Azerbaijan Lasting Peace: The Washington Accord and a Shared Future”, APA reports, citing AlJazeera.

Hikmat Hajiyev, Azerbaijan’s assistant to the president, also hailed the US-brokered deal with Armenia, which, he said, “will ensure the legitimacy and the legality, and also the guiding principles of international law in our region”.

“And based on the just peace, we are building the new realities and the new status quo in the region of South Caucasus,” he said.

Hajiyev said many recent peace arrangements failed because once a deal was signed, the sides fall into “a comfort zone”, adding that Armenia and Azerbaijan were trying to avoid such a situation.

He said that both sides know that “peace is an uphill struggle and we should work very hard”.

Hajiyev also said the officials in the two capitals were in regular contact through different channels and are working hard to fully implement the agreements between the two countries.
