President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has mentioned the relationship with Armenia in his address to the eighty-second session of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
“Since 2021, when I first addressed this distinguished body, the South Caucasus has undergone profound transformation. Azerbaijan has fully restored its sovereignty and territorial integrity and initiated a peace agenda with Armenia. At the Washington Summit last August hosted by President Donald Trump of the United States of America, historic progress was achieved in the normalization between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Today, we are witnessing the dividends of peace. Trade relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia have commenced, and Azerbaijan is now facilitating transit access for Armenia. Reciprocal visits of civil society representatives are contributing to confidence-building,” the Azerbaijani APA news agency quoted Aliyev as saying.
