The President of Azerbaijan also noted that, despite this, he believes that “we are making considerable progress in the negotiation process," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in this regard as he received credentials of newly appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada Kevin Hamilton on July 1, APA reports.
The head of state said, “I believe we can finalize the text of the peace agreement, or at least its main principles, within a few months. During the occupation period, the mediators' plan was to agree on the basic principles known as the Madrid Principles. These principles should have been initialled with the text to be drafted later. We believe this could be an option—reaching an agreement on the basic principles, initialling them, and then working on the text.”
President Ilham Aliyev noted that this will happen if Armenia amends its constitution.
