The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated that a peace treaty with Armenia could be concluded based on the norms and principles of international law.
"We want a peace treaty, but, I say again, not everything depends on us; the opposite side must also be ready for it and must transfer the principles expressed in words to paper," said Ilham Aliyev.
Emphasizing the positive progress of Armenia's position, he also noted:
"If in October of last year, Armenia recognized the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and borders of Azerbaijan, then in May of this year it went further, officially recognizing the parameters of the territory of Azerbaijan, including Karabakh and enclave villages. This should be considered as a positive fact. Now the time has come for these same words to be fixed on paper, signatures to be put, and relations to be established. In any case, we will continue our efforts in this direction."
