Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, in his address at the General Debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, highlighted that “de facto” peace has been established with Armenia.
Bayramov noted that the process of normalizing relations has opened up economic ties.
“Today, we have achieved de facto peace. Moreover, by unilaterally lifting transit restrictions, Azerbaijan is facilitating the transportation of goods to and from Armenia. We have also established bilateral trade. Azerbaijan regularly supplies Armenia with strategically important petroleum products, despite growing instability in the markets and increased international demand for these products,” Bayramov said.
He recalled that in August 2025, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint declaration in Washington and initialed the Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations.
“Through this declaration, the two sides confirmed the end of the conflict and their will to jointly build a peaceful and prosperous future,” the Azerbaijani foreign minister said.
