Hikmet Hajiyev praises Trump’s support for peace with Armenia

The Trump administration demonstrated a lot of dedication to our agenda of peace, Azerbaijani presidential aide Hikmet Hajiyev told The Washington Times.

“What needs to be appreciated is Trump’s immediate reciprocity and full engagement…
Both governments, Azerbaijan and Armenia, are making an uphill struggle of strengthening the peace. However, some in Congress are introducing completely unnecessary and divisive legislative acts,” he said.

According to him, the administration of Joe Biden has damaged relations between Azerbaijan and the United States. Hajiyev also mentioned oil product exports and the conditions created for grain transit to Armenia.

“It may seem symbolic, but along with symbolism there’s really important geopolitical connotations. We are making peace not only with the government of Armenia, but with the people of Armenia… We have stronger determination for our agenda of peace, and we have the full support of the Trump administration,” Hajiyev said.
