Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov told reporters in Baku that while there is no significant progress in normalization talks with Armenia, there is no alternative to long-term peace and development in the region.

The Azeri-Press Agency (APA) quotes Bayramov as saying that while “revanchist” sentiments still exist in Armenia, clear changes are taking place in Armenian society regarding Azerbaijan.

Speaking about demarcating the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, Bayramov noted that this process will take a long time.

"Given the history of relations with Armenia, it will not be so easy to achieve. Nevertheless, the start of the process is already a good step," Bayramov said, adding that the date of the border commission's next meeting is yet to be confirmed.

"We should divide peace negotiations into stages, as a process," Bayramov told reporters. “The next stage is a look to the future. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has made a call in this regard.”

Bayramov said the border demarcation process should be conducted by analyzing historical and legal documents with the participation of experts.
