  Azerbaijan reaffirms commitment to regional peace agenda

“Azerbaijan is committed to the regional peace agenda and will continue its decisive steps in this direction,” said Prime Minister Ali Asadov during his speech at the 11th Summit of the Developing Eight Organization for Economic Cooperation (D-8), AzVision.az reports.

Highlighting Azerbaijan’s achievement in ending nearly 30 years of Armenian occupation and fully restoring its territorial integrity and sovereignty, the PM added: “Armenia conducted ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijanis in the territories it had occupied, and more than 1 million Azerbaijanis became refugees and IDPs. Urbicide, culturcide, and ecocide were carried out in our territories. The cultural and religious heritage of the Azerbaijani people was destroyed. 65 out of 67 mosques in those territories were raised to the ground. Currently, large-scale restoration and construction work is underway in these territories, with villages and cities being built from scratch. Thousands of former internally displaced persons have already returned to their ancestral lands.”

PM Ali Asadov emphasized that the new realities open up unique opportunities for lasting peace and stability in the region, as well as for mutually beneficial cooperation.
