Norwegian publication highlights peace agreement initialed in Washington

The Norwegian publication Geopolitics has published an article by Zaur Ahmadov, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark, highlighting the initialing of the peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which paves the way for long-awaited peace in the South Caucasus.

Ambassador Ahmadov mentioned that the agreement is the culmination of long-term, consistent diplomatic efforts. In his article, the diplomat stressed that the main condition for the final signing is Armenia’s readiness to amend its Constitution by removing provisions related to territorial claims against Azerbaijan. An important part of the agreements is the opening of all transport and communication lines, including a safe land corridor between the Azerbaijani mainland and Nakhchivan through Armenian territory.

According to the ambassador, the project called “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) will benefit not only the two countries but also the entire regional economy. Ahmadov noted that both sides have abandoned the spirit of revenge and expressed readiness to establish good-neighborly relations. In his view, this creates real opportunities to replace conflict with cooperation and to ensure stability and prosperity in the South Caucasus.

The ambassador concluded the article by drawing a parallel with the successful experience of regional cooperation in Northern Europe, which he believes can serve as a valuable model for achieving lasting peace and fostering cooperation in the South Caucasus.
