ArmInfo.. Yerevan should respond positively to Baku's peace initiatives. This was stated by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, answering questions from  Azerbaijani journalists at the UN headquarters in New York.

"We consistently urge and encourage Armenia to respond to these good  intentions. We see that "radicals" inside the country and the  Diaspora from abroad are putting pressure on the Armenian  authorities. We have already discussed not only [U.S. Secretary of  State Antony] with Blinken, but also with our other interlocutors  that Armenia should be encouraged more in this direction. At our  meeting yesterday [with the US Secretary of State], we once again  reminded that Turkey and Azerbaijan want peace and show goodwill in  the name of ensuring stability in the region," Cavusoglu said,  Anadolu reports.

According to him, after the victory in the 44-day war, Azerbaijan has  clearly demonstrated its desire for peace in the region. Cavusoglu  recalled that the Azerbaijani side had proposed to Armenia to  conclude a comprehensive peace agreement.  The diplomat noted that  Azerbaijan also supports the negotiations between Turkey and Armenia  on the normalization of relations between Ankara and Yerevan.
