During the Putin-Aliyev meeting held in Sochi, the President of Azerbaijan thanked for the invitation.
“Today's meeting is dedicated to our regional problems. Once again, I want to express my gratitude to you for the role you played in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, a trilateral declaration was signed two years ago, which put an end to the long-term conflict,” said the President of Azerbaijan.
According to Aliyev, now is the time to talk and act in the direction of regulating relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“We highly appreciate your personal role in this issue. Today's trilateral meeting is not our first meeting, there were such meetings on your initiative, and I see that they were a positive stimulus for the settlement process,” he noted.
Aliyev also referred to the negotiations on the settlement of relations.
“Relatively recently, Azerbaijan put forward five main principles, on the basis of which relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia should be regulated. They are the fundamental principles of international law, and I think that a settlement can be reached on that basis. The regulation of Azerbaijan-Armenia relations is a format that, of course, requires very serious steps. We look forward to your personal and Russia's continued active role in achieving these goals,” Aliyev said.
The President of Azerbaijan once again stated that the Karabakh conflict is already history, it was resolved two years ago, so there is practically nothing to discuss in this context.
It should be noted that earlier in the meeting with the Prime Minister of Armenia, the President of the Russian Federation emphasized in his speech that the Karabakh conflict has been going on for decades and it is time to put an end to that conflict.
