Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov spoke about Armenia's provocations at the trilateral meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, held during the high-level week of the 77th UN General Assembly on September 19.
That Bayramov brought to attention the position of Azerbaijan regarding the provision of peace in the region in the post-conflict period and the necessary steps in this direction.
The minister stressed that on September 12-14, Armenia caused clashes by provocations and attacks against Azerbaijan, violated the initial ceasefire reached within a few hours, and caused additional losses. He said that Azerbaijan, as a party that carries out large-scale reconstruction works in the region and resettles former internally displaced persons in the region, is not interested in destabilization.
The minister reminded that despite the deep consequences caused by the occupation of the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan for 30 years, Azerbaijan put forward the proposal to sign a peace treaty immediately after the 44-day Patriotic War and took successive initiatives in this direction. He said that despite Azerbaijan's efforts in the process of normalization with Armenia, the opening of communications, delimitation, and demarcation of borders, as well as in humanitarian directions, Armenia obstructs the processes and grossly violates its obligations within the framework of tripartite statements.
The FM once again emphasized Azerbaijan's readiness for urgent negotiations to ensure lasting peace in accordance with the tripartite declarations between the leaders and the results of the Brussels meeting.
