ArmInfo.President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev is confident in the possibility of achieving peace in the South Caucasus.  He expressed this conviction during his speech at the session "Azerbaijan's Role in the New Geopolitical Environment" at the International Cernobbio Forum.

 "We can achieve  peace in the Southern Caucasus. It is reachable," Aliyev said, adding  that almost 80 of the peace treaty paragraphs has already been  approved.  "We have already started the border delimitation process,  and not only delimitation but also demarcation.  Yes, it's a first  small step. Only about 13 kilometers of our border, which is more  than 1000 kilometers. But it is a step in the right direction and we  hope that Azerbaijan's initiative to start peace negotiations will  result in a peace treaty," Aliyev said, as quoted by APA. 

Earlier, at a press conference in Yerevan, Armenian Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan said that 13 out of 17 paagraphs of the peace treaty  with Azerbaijan had been fully agreed upon. Moreover, according to  him, there are partial agreements on three more points.
