Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov called on Armenia to 'legally abandon territorial claims' to achieve peace in the South Caucasus, addressing the 79th UN General Assembly in New York on Saturday.
"Partial peace is not an option after so much pain and sufferings, inflicting by irredentism and territorial claims against neighbours," Bayramov said. "For the finalisation of the normalisation process, Armenia has yet to legally abandon territorial claims against Azerbaijan once and for all through implementing constitutional amendments."
He also pointed out that this year Azerbaijan and Armenia made significant progress in drafting a bilateral agreement on delimitation and demarcation of the state border.
"Azerbaijan will continue to take this process forward, acting with a strong sense of responsibility for not only its national security and wellbeing, but also for ensuring a better future for the entire region," Bayramov said.
"The end of the armed conflict with Armenia and restoration of Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity created a substantially new environment in the South Caucasus. For the first time since decades, stability has been achieved on the ground," he added.
On April 19, the Armenian Foreign Ministry announced that four villages - Baghanis Ayrum, Ashaghi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Ghizilhajili - would be transferred to Baku.
On November 9, 2020, after 44 days of armed conflict in Karabakh, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a trilateral declaration on a ceasefire in the republic. On May 25, 2023, Yerevan and Baku agreed on mutual recognition of territorial integrity.
On September 19, 2023, the conflict in Karabakh escalated again after the Baku authorities accused Yerevan of 'systematic shelling of positions of the Azerbaijani army' and launched a counter-terrorism operation in the region. At the same time, Pashinyan denied the presence of the Armenian armed forces in Karabakh.
On September 20, the Ministry of Defense of the unrecognised Nagorno-Karabakh Republic announced the decision to lay down arms and cease fire, and on September 28, NKR leader Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree on the self-dissolution of the republic from January 1, 2024.
