Armenian Foreign Minister: We should not limit ourselves to signing  peace treaty; we can go further

ArmInfo.Negotiations between the Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov and Armenia 

Ararat Mirzoyan started today in Almaty.

Before its start, Ararat Mirzoyan noted the symbolism of the 

bilateral meeting, since it is taking place in the same building 

where the famous Almaty Declaration was signed in 1991. "With the 

signing of this document, 11 former Soviet republics recognized that 

the former administrative borders between them are now recognized as 

the borders of independent states," he recalled.

"It is important to note that over the past two years, both the Prime 

Minister of Armenia and the President of Azerbaijan have confirmed 

their commitment to the Almaty Declaration several times," Mirzoyan 

said.  He added that the delimitation process between the two states 

should take place on the basis of this document. "Armenia is 

committed to peace, to the agreement of a peace treaty," said the RA 

Foreign Minister. 

"Moreover, we think that we should not limit ourselves to signing a 

peace treaty, we can go even further:  we can open all transport 

communications in the region with the understanding that all 

transport infrastructures will remain under the sovereignty of those 

countries through territory of which they pass, and procedures 

crossing borders in a mutual manner," Ararat Mirzoyan summed up.
