Hikmat Hajiyev, a senior aide to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, has said that Azerbaijan’s cooperation and engagement with Armenia demonstrates its commitment to achieving lasting peace. He added that the country had ended the military occupation of its territory, thereby restoring its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
