OSCE Chair-in-Office Ian Borg made a visit to Azerbaijan, where he met with President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. During the discussions, Borg raised the question of the ongoing peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to an OSCE press release, Borg noted: “We need a constant dialogue on an equal footing and pragmatism to achieve sustainable peace. With the OSCE’s comprehensive set of tools and decades-long experience, we stand ready to engage more, support and complement efforts between Azerbaijanis and Armenians, to alleviate human suffering and help build a better future for all people.”
In this context, Borg noted that there is no alternative to the path of diplomacy. “This is key if we want to achieve a long-term and lasting solution that respects the fundamental principles of the OSCE,” the official noted.
