During his speech, Aliyev announced the onset of a "stage of peace" between Azerbaijan and Armenia and emphasized that this indicates a "high level of political will."
"And to reach the initialing of a peace agreement less than two years after the last armed clashes indicates that both countries have demonstrated a fairly high level of political will," he is convinced.
The Azerbaijani leader emphasized that the role of US President Donald Trump in normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia deserves "the highest praise."
Aliyev noted that his country has lifted all restrictions on the transit of goods to Armenia.
"The first such transit cargo was a cargo of Kazakh grain to Armenia. I think this is also a good indicator that peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia is no longer just on paper, but also in practice," he concluded.
