“It all depends on how Armenia and Azerbaijan will ultimately decide, how they will formulate the text of the agreement. Equally important is the signing of the final peace agreement and the implementation of the conditions that will follow it. Here, of course, we should talk about the opening of communications, the demarcation of the border. It is also very important for me to ensure a distance between the forces along the border, a real sense of security that will be provided to the people along the border and in a broader sense. And then, of course, you have all these issues, such as, you know, the opening of embassies, ensuring direct air communication, the ability for people to travel back and forth,” Toivo Klaar said in an interview with the Armenian press.
“Rhetoric will also be important for all parties involved. After more than 30 years of conflict, it is not just the rhetoric of Azerbaijan but also Armenia. There have been statements by different actors, and in different contexts. The entire context should be changed to ensure that the population of Armenia and Azerbaijan really feels that we are now in a different world, in a situation where the South Caucasus can truly play its role as a crossroads, a crossroads of peace, in north-south and east-west directions,” he noted.
