As part of the Azerbaijani-Armenian normalization process, negotiations are underway on the text of a bilateral peace agreement, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said at a special meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, Report informs.

According to the diplomat, the talks held over the past few weeks in Washington, Brussels, Moscow and Chisinau made it possible to better understand the positions of the parties.

Jeyhun Bayramov stressed that Azerbaijan expects mutual political will from the Armenian side to overcome differences in three specific areas that form the agenda of bilateral discussions.

In this context, Armenia’s continued illegal military presence in the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan, consistent interference in internal affairs, obstruction of dialogue between the central authorities of Azerbaijan and the Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of the country, and the conduct of a smear campaign on an international scale, including within the OSCE, are the main obstacle for negotiations on the normalization of interstate relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
