I remember our meetings in Baku.

I was in a different position when I visited.

Now the time is different.

There are difficulties around us.

We analyzed the situation.

Now it's been a year since Russia invaded Ukraine.

What effect does this have on the political environment and the economic situation?

We had a chance to talk about the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

We both really hope it will be a success.

This is a complex conflict.

Several steps forward have been taken during the past period.

A negotiation process was conducted with Charles Michel.

President of Azerbaijan

said:

- Thank you, Mr. President.

I am very happy to visit Germany again.

As we discussed with you in our one-on-one meeting, we will do our best to contribute to the peaceful settlement of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

I believe that there is a good chance to reach an agreement, especially at a time when Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty after the meetings in Sochi last October.

It is a good idea to sign this agreement sooner rather than later.

We have developed five principles based on international law that, in our view, should form the basis of a peace agreement.
