The two Caucasus neighbours and historical foes have fought two wars over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region during the past three decades, with Baku retaking control of the territory in a one-day offensive last fall.

Peace talks — mediated separately by the European Union, the United States and Russia — have sputtered, despite both countries saying an agreement could be signed by the end of last year.

“The most important thing today is that real conditions have been created for a signing of a peace treaty,” Aliyev said in a televised interview.

“That’s why we need to actively work on the text,” he said.

In December, the two countries swapped prisoners of war, which was a seen as a first step toward normalising relations. But numerous issues remain unresolved and clashes break out regularly along the border.

Aliyev said he was “certain that there will not be a new war” with Armenia.

“I will do everything in my power to prevent it. Enough, enough of wars,” he said.
