Azerbaijan is ready to launch negotiations with Armenia for normalization of relations and considers the active participation of the European Union in this process possible. This is what President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said as he received the credentials of the newly appointed Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Azerbaijan, Peter Michalko, haqqin.az reports.

“Now the main issue is the post-war period and the ensuring of peace in the region. We want to turn this page over. This is our policy. We want to establish relations with our neighbor Armenia. We are ready to launch negotiations over the signing of a peace treaty with Armenia, the conduct of demarcation and the unblocking of communication routes. The process has partially begun,” Aliyev said

The Azerbaijani president stated that the EU may also show active participation in this process, “especially since I see such desire, and this will help us in many sectors”. According to Aliyev, there is a lot of work to do in this direction.
