“From the point of view of a formal peace deal to be signed, everything depends on when Armenia's Constitution is amended in order to deduct the territorial claim against Azerbaijan, which has existed there for three decades," President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the panel discussion titled “Open corridor policy? Deepening Trans-Caspian cooperation” held in Munich as part of the Munich Security Conference, APA reports.
The head of state noted that the next day, after it is done, the peace agreement will formally be signed:
“But in the meantime, the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity will also play an instrumental role in creating new connectivity links. As I already said, the transportation route from China, Central Asia, Trans-Caspian, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Azerbaijan’s exclave Nakhchivan, Türkiye, and further down to Europe will create an absolutely new situation. It will be beneficial to all the countries. All the countries on the route will be more politically and economically integrated, and this will be another contribution to long-lasting and eternal peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Because peace can be achieved when you really have a peaceful process. Signing the document is important. It is a foundation. But no less important is what you do after.
The time from the last bloody clash between Azerbaijan and Armenia to the Washington Summit was less than two years. I think this is a record number in all conflicts, especially conflicts which lasted for three decades. So both sides demonstrated strong political will to put an end to this confrontation and to open the chapter of peace. And we have lived in peace for only six months, and believe me, it is a very special feeling. It is a very good feeling, which is shared by the entire population of Azerbaijan, and I am sure of Armenia. Connectivity projects and corridors will unite us even more, make us interdependent, and create an absolutely new situation in the South Caucasus, where Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia will at last start interaction on trilateral grounds,"
