President of Azerbaijan: Peace with Armenia is closer than ever. Ilham Aliyev indicated that they are in an “active stage” of peace negotiations with Armenia.
Last December, Azerbaijan and Armenia issued a joint statement, expressing their desire to reach a peace agreement. The main points of the peace agreement revolve around demarcating borders and establishing regional transport corridors across the territories of both parties. Armenia raised the issue of determining control over areas where there are ethnic groups on both sides of the border.
