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.
