Azerbaijan still hopes to conclude a peace treaty with Armenia by the end of the year, assistant to the president of Azerbaijan, head of foreign policy affairs department of the presidential administration Hikmet Hajiyev said in an interview with TASS. We still hope for the signing of a peace treaty before the end of this year and call on the Armenian political leadership to take the main step officially with their signature under the peace treaty to record recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, including the Karabakh economic region of our Republic, and to commit to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of our country in the future, he said, including through attempts to bring our internal issues such as issues of our interaction with our citizens of Armenian ethnic origin in Karabakh to international platforms under the pretext of ensuring the rights and security of this population group. These are our citizens and their rights and security will be ensured by the constitution of Azerbaijan, he added. According to the assistant to the head of the Republic, it is important that Armenia abandoned the policy of financing separatism in Azerbaijan. As for the activities of international mediators, we highly appreciate their contribution to the normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, he added.
