BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 16. The U.S. is pleased
with Azerbaijan and Armenia taking a step forward toward a peace
treaty, said Michael Waltz, National Security Advisor of the U.S.,
Trend reports.
“Conflict in the South Caucasus must end. We are
pleased Azerbaijan and Armenia have taken a big step forward and
agreed to a peace treaty,” he wrote on his page on X.
Waltz pointed out the need to finalize the peace deal as soon as
possible.
Meanwhile, on March 13, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign
Affairs announced the completion of negotiations on the draft text
of the Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate
Relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“We once again reaffirm Azerbaijan’s long-term and principled
position that the main condition for signing the agreed text is the
amendment of Armenia’s constitution to remove claims to the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. We also stress
the need for the official dissolution of the outdated and
non-functional OSCE Minsk Group and related structures. We are
ready to continue bilateral dialogue between the two countries on
these and other issues related to the normalization process,” the
MFA stated.
