Armenia and Azerbaijan are moving toward peace – Turkish Vice President

Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, in an interview with Report, said that Yerevan and Baku are rapidly advancing toward the establishment of lasting peace, which paves the way for large-scale regional economic projects.

According to him, among the key points are:

• The text of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been agreed upon;

• Agreements have been reached on opening regional transport and communication lines;

• Azerbaijan has lifted transit restrictions and carried out the first export of petroleum products to Armenia;

• These steps positively influence the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations.

Yılmaz added that the South Caucasus is gradually moving away from confrontation and transforming into a region of cooperation, stability, and economic development, and that Turkey is ready to support this process both diplomatically and politically.
