Kassym-Jomart Tokayev: The peace agreement signed in Washington  between Azerbaijan and Armenia is a historic achievement

ArmInfo.  President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev considers the peace agreement signed  in Washington between Azerbaijan and Armenia to be a historically  significant achievement. Ruslan Zheldybay, President's press  secretary, made this statement  on his Telegram channel. 

The document had put an end to the long-standing military conflict  between the two states and opened the way to establishing diplomatic  relations and  developing cooperation between them  on the basis of   lasting peace.

According to the President of Kazakhstan, the signing of a unique  agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia became possible thanks to  the energetic and effective mediation mission of US President Donald  Trump, who managed to convince the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders  to fully demonstrate political will and strategic foresight.  President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev notes that Kazakhstan also made its  contribution to achieving such important agreements between  Azerbaijan and Armenia by proposing Almaty as a venue for  negotiations at the ministerial level on key parameters of the peace  treaty. The ministerial negotiations took place there.
