(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 20. Over the last few
months, Azerbaijan and Armenia have managed to narrow their
differences on some issues, Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan
to the OSCE Rovshan Sadigbayli said at a special meeting of the
OSCE Permanent Council in response to the speech of Armenian
Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, trend reports.
"The talks held, over the last few months in Washington DC,
Brussels, Moscow and Chisinau served for the sides to better
understand their core concerns and helped narrow the differences
with respect to some issues. The sixth trilateral meeting held in
Brussels last week was also useful in maintaining the positive
momentum in bilateral negotiations," he said.
Sadigbayli noted that Azerbaijan has also undertaken efforts to
start the process of delimitation of state border between Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
"On 12 July 2023, the fourth meeting of the respective
commissions on the border delimitation between Azerbaiian and
Armenia was held at the border between the two countries which
allowed the sides to continue discussions," he noted.
At the same time, Azerbaijan also works tirelessly on unblocking
of all transportation and communication links in the region in line
with the trilateral statement.
"However, despite the strong support from the international
community for this initiative and the diplomatic efforts made to
move the normalization agenda forward, tangible progress remains
limited on the above-mentioned three tracks. Armenia continues to
artificially delay the practical work on different tracks by
putting forward preconditions," Sadigbayli noted.
Although Armenia has openly recognized the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, including Karabakh as its
inalienable part, the Armenian leadership still lacks in making
actual steps to eventually achieve a breakthrough in relations with
Azerbaijan, the representative at OSCE concluded.
