FM: Armenia’s Removal of Territorial Claims Key to Irreversible Peace

Vienna: ‘The removal by Armenia of territorial claims still embedded in its Constitution will enable the signing and subsequent ratification of the initialed bilateral agreement, paving the way for peace that is irreversible,’ said Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, in his remarks at the 32nd Meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Vienna.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the Foreign Minister emphasized that the timely realization of the ‘Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity’ (TRIPP) is of utmost importance. This multi-modal connectivity route, encompassing railroads, highways, and other communications, must ensure unimpeded links between the main part of Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, with reciprocal connectivity benefits for Armenia.

Bayramov reiterated that opening these communications not only makes peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan sustainable but also generates significant benefits on a much larger scale. The focus on infrastructure and connectivity is seen as a pivotal step in fostering enduring peace and regional cooperation.
