German president praises Armenia’s constructive approach in peace process with Azerbaijan

President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier praised on Monday Armenia’s “highly constructive” approach in the peace process with Azerbaijan.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan in Yerevan, the German president said that there is no obstacle for the signing of the concluded peace deal.

President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said it is important for Armenia and Azerbaijan to take the final steps aimed at establishing peace.

“We all witnessed that Armenia has been acting highly constructively in the past weeks. There are no more outstanding issues in the peace agreement and nothing hinders its signing, ratification and implementation. Armenia has made decisions that made the peace agreement possible, and now all possible skepticisms in Azerbaijan must be eliminated,” the German president said.

He said the people in the South Caucasus are waiting for the long conflict to end, which will lead to economic development, among others.

“It wasn’t easy for Armenia to end the conflict and achieve resolution. Many countries can take an example from this process,” the German president said.
