President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev emphasized the importance of confidence-building measures in improving relations with Armenia, while acknowledging that immediate full integration or friendship between the two countries is unrealistic.
Speaking at the international forum themed “Facing the New World Order” at ADA University, Aliyev outlined Azerbaijan's expectations regarding Armenia’s respect for Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and adherence to its constitution.
He stated, “What we expect from Armenia with respect to our territorial integrity and their constitution is known. As soon as it is done and peace agreement is signed, there'll be no obstacle for the South Caucasus to be the integrated region.” However, the president acknowledged that while full economic integration is premature, there is potential for progress through incremental steps. “Being realist, of course, we cannot imagine that immediately we will become friends with Armenia. It is not realistic, and even talking about a kind of economic integration is premature. But we are ready for starting to make small steps towards confidence-building measures,” he added.
Aliyev's comments suggest a cautious yet hopeful approach to fostering better relations with Armenia, emphasizing the importance of gradual steps towards trust and cooperation in the region.
