“Yerevan should respond positively to Baku’s peacekeeping initiatives,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said.

“Now we encourage Armenia to respond to these kind intentions and we see that the Armenian authorities are under pressure from radicals inside the country, and from the outside – from the Diaspora.”

According to Çavuşoğlu, the Turkish side not only told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the Armenian side should be encouraged in this direction, but also its other interlocutors.

“During our meeting yesterday (the meeting of Çavuşoğlu and Blinken – ed.), we once again reminded that Turkey and Azerbaijan want peace and showed our goodwill for stability in the region.”

Çavuşoğlu recalled that the Azerbaijani side offered Armenia to sign a peace agreement.

According to him, Azerbaijan, in turn, supports negotiations on the settlement of relations between Turkey and Armenia.
