Vienna: Azay Guliyev, a member of the Azerbaijani delegation and Chair of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly General Committee on Economic Affairs, Science, Technology, and Environment, addressed the joint meeting of committees titled "Human Rights as a Basis for Security" during the 25th Winter Meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Vienna, Austria. He highlighted the new peaceful realities emerging in the South Caucasus.

He noted that the Agreement on Establishment of Peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia has been initialed, the OSCE Minsk Group has been abolished, transit restrictions imposed by Azerbaijan on Armenia have been lifted, and energy product supply has been ensured.

These developments have created a new dynamic for normalization and peaceful coexistence between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Guliyev further mentioned that Azerbaijan is ready to sign a peace agreement immediately after Armenia adopts its new constitution.

He pointed out that Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act, which limits US cooperation with Azerbaijan, remains a key issue impeding bilateral relations and called for its complete abolition to align with current realities and national interests.
