ArmInfo.. Yerevan should respond positively to Baku’s peace initiatives. This was stated by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, answering questions from Azerbaijani journalists at the UN headquarters in New York.
“We consistently urge and encourage Armenia to respond to these good intentions. We see that “radicals” inside the country and the Diaspora from abroad are putting pressure on the Armenian authorities. We have already discussed not only [U.S. Secretary of State Antony] with Blinken, but also with our other interlocutors that Armenia should be encouraged more in this direction. At our meeting yesterday [with the US Secretary of State], we once again reminded that Turkey and Azerbaijan want peace and show goodwill in the name of ensuring stability in the region,” Cavusoglu said, Anadolu reports.
According to him, after the victory in the 44-day war, Azerbaijan has clearly demonstrated its desire for peace in the region. Cavusoglu recalled that the Azerbaijani side had proposed to Armenia to conclude a comprehensive peace agreement. The diplomat noted that Azerbaijan also supports the negotiations between Turkey and Armenia on the normalization of relations between Ankara and Yerevan.
