Aliev’s epresentative: Trade ties with Armenia begin as connectivity projects advanced

Since the Washington summit, Armenia and Azerbaijan have effectively been living in conditions of peace. There has been no military escalation between two countries, Representative of the President of Azerbaijan on Special Assignments Elchin Amirbayov said during his speech at the 4th International Conference on Mine Action titled “Humanitarian Demining for Urban Recovery’’.

According to him, dialogue between governments and societies has continued, trade and economic ties have begun, and connectivity and communication projects are being developed: “At the same time, our societies are expected to look toward a different future. This is truly a historic opportunity. However, peace is not created by political agreements alone. Peace must be made visible and tangible on the ground, in people’s daily lives’’, – he noted.

According to Amirbayov, the mined areas remind society that the war is not yet completely behind us, and this inevitably has a negative impact on public confidence in the normalization process.
