(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. We are expecting a
proper explanation for the legal and also constitutional framework
from Armenia, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of
the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration
Hikmet Hajiyev said, Trend reports.
He made the remark during a panel discussion at the Antalya
Diplomacy Forum held today.
"Currently, we are awaiting a comprehensive explanation
regarding the legal and constitutional framework of the Republic of
Armenia, which still retains the element of 'Miatsum' and
territorial claims. From the Armenian side, there needs to be a
genuine commitment to advancing the interim agenda. Simultaneously,
we must remain vigilant about potential new developments.
Unfortunately, a controversial trend has emerged, involving the
export of geopolitical influence beyond the original export
development structures, resulting in new lines of division. It is
crucial to address this development seriously. In the meantime,
there should be a real border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and
approach confrontations from that perspective," he said.
Hajiyev pointed out there is a strong willingness and political
determination from the Azerbaijani side to transform the region and
make the South Caucasus a region of peace, security, and
cooperation.
"President Ilham Aliyev has proposed a model for an integrated
South Caucasus region where all three countries can come together.
Our agenda also emphasizes regional ownership, meaning that all
three countries should actively participate in and contribute to
regional initiatives, rather than expecting the imposition of
certain cooperative elements from one side. It involves taking
responsibility for the sake of regional cooperation. We have
successfully established a fruitful cooperation model between
Azerbaijan and Georgia, and Armenia could benefit from this
experience," he added.
