Baku, October 21 (Xinhua) — Azerbaijan has lifted all restrictions on cargo transit to Armenia that have been in place since the beginning of the conflict between the two countries. This was announced by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Astana on Tuesday with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Ilham Aliyev noted that Kazakhstan's grain was the first transit cargo to Armenia. "This is a strong indication that peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia exists not only on paper but also in practice," he emphasized.
Armenia welcomed this step by Azerbaijan. "This step is of great importance for opening regional communications, strengthening mutual trust, and institutionalizing the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in accordance with the agreements reached in Washington," said Nazeli Baghdasaryan, spokesperson for the Armenian Prime Minister.
On August 8, US President Donald Trump, Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint declaration aimed at resolving the conflict between Baku and Yerevan. –0–
