I FM del G7 chiedono ad Armenia e Azerbaigian di rimanere pienamente impegnati nel processo di pace ed esortano Baku a rispettare gli obblighi

Full statement:

>We urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to remain fully committed to the peace process to achieve a dignified and durable peace based on the principles of non-use of force, respect for sovereignty, the inviolability of borders, and territorial integrity. We recall the Joint Statement issued by the sides on December 7th, 2023, and encourage them to uphold that spirit of cooperation in their future interactions. Further escalation would be unacceptable.

>We call on Azerbaijan to fully comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law and encourage appropriate steps to ensure the safe, dignified, and sustainable return of refugees and displaced persons wishing to come back to their homes.

>The G7 and its members are ready to facilitate further constructive contacts at all levels, notably within the established negotiating frameworks provided by the EU and the USA, whose enduring efforts we commend.

>We reiterate the importance of the commitment to the Alma Ata 1991 Declaration through which Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. We encourage greater regional cooperation and the re-opening of all borders, including the border between Armenia and Türkiye.

Also notable from the section on Central Asia:

>We encourage the further strengthening of regional cooperation, especially in the field of connectivity and infrastructure, including the *Middle Corridor* [emphasis mine], to improve ease of trade between the Central Asian countries, bolster global supply chains, foster trade, forge investment and energy links, provide economic diversification and enhance resilience, while upholding labor rights and environmental protection.

Once again displaying the importance of our region (especially Azerbaijan) in the broader context and tying in with the desire to have the regional communications (including between Turkey and Armenia) unblocked.
