Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the U.K., responds to The Guardian’s<\/a> accusations of its move being a cynical PR stunt. During the conference, and a week before and after it, Azerbaijan calls on all countries that have conflicts to lay down their arms. According to the ambassador, this initiative is akin to the Olympic truce.<\/p>\n

“Azerbaijan’s conflict with our neighbor Armenia lasted the better part of three decades. So the significance of Armenia moving to support Azerbaijan’s ultimately successful bid to host Cop29 must not be understated. The peace that had eluded our nations for 30 years is at last in reach,” Suleymanov noted, adding that every country in the world, including Armenia’s current leadership, recognise Artsakh as Azerbaijan’s sovereign territory.<\/p>\n

“Peace in our fractious region was unthinkable for decades. That our region, as a direct result of peace negotiations, can now host Cop29 should give hope to the world even in these times of heightened geopolitical tensions,” Suleymanov noted.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
