We really encourage the parties to continue the peace process and negotiations.

APA reports that Leo Dockerty, Minister of State for the North American and European Region of Great Britain, who is on a visit to Azerbaijan, said this in a statement to journalists.

"We believe that the best way forward is for all parties to have discussions in a positive environment.

We have already made it clear that if this process continues, it will have many dividends and benefits.

Today, I was impressed by our discussions on this topic in my meeting with Azerbaijani government officials and ministers.

Everyone wants a future of peace.

As Great Britain, we encourage and call on all parties to participate sincerely in the future peace process.

And I was very impressed by my visit today," the minister said while talking about the normalization of Azerbaijan-Armenia relations.

According to the minister, future peace is based on cooperation, de-escalation and normalization of relations.

"When economic development takes place, which also requires demining and restoration of life in returned territories, it will create an opportunity for lasting peace. Given the changes in the regional context, Putin's war in Ukraine, I think leaders can encourage people to live in peace. "I think this is what the people want. We really hope that the leaders of the Caucasus region can sit together and work for de-escalation, for future peace, because this is something that the people also want," he said.
