The principles proposed by Azerbaijan to Armenia should be the base for peace agreement, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at an international "South Caucasus Development and Cooperation" conference, held at ADA University in Baku, on April 29.
He said that the signing of the peace agreement to establish long-term and sustainable peace in the Caucasus.
"I think that there should also be understanding in Armenia that they cannot continue to live like an isolated island in this region. They need to normalize relations with us, they need to put down territorial claims to Azerbaijan and to Turkey and need not to be hesitant in any kind of interaction on the trilateral level in the Southern Caucasus”, Ilham Aliyev noted.
Pointing out that Azerbaijan made several proposals supported by leading international organizations to organize trilateral meetings, the head of state said that those proposals had been refused by Armenia.
“This policy of Armenia is beyond any logic. But, probably they need some time, probably they need to evaluate risks which they think may occur from that. But I think it is inevitable. We are ready and our Georgian colleagues are ready. So, I think that could be a first step”, the President said.
"I have been saying for more than a year that Armenia must sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan. The Armenian side has only recently agreed," Ilham Aliyev said
