Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Ann Linde that Baku had already begun negotiations with Armenia on unblocking transport routes, RIA Novosti reported.

Aliyev on Sunday received a delegation led by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Ann Linde.

“We already started the process of negotiations on the opening of communications between Armenia and Azerbaijan. That was part of the statement which was signed on November 10. Negotiations already had several rounds, different levels, and I think that this particular issue can be a starting point for completely turning the page of war and leaving it to the history. Because opening of communications will be in the benefit of all the regional countries. We will create new opportunities, bring new dynamics to regional cooperation. And it can bring after many other areas of potential cooperation. I already publicly spoke that Azerbaijan is ready for that,” the Azerbaijani President said in particular, according to his press service.
