00:06The normalization and the peace in South Hokusus is well needed in the West, in Europe, in the United States.
00:14Hikmet Hadjev, assistant to the president of Azerbaijan and head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs,
00:18led the talks and shook hands with each person sitting at the table.
00:22Here in Gabala, you can see that both sides have met to continue those discussions on peace negotiations
00:28between Armenia and Azerbaijan and we did witness both sides looking very willing to continue that dialogue.
00:35The participants here are to prepare their respective societies for their ultimate eventuality,
00:40the peace agreement and its consequences.
00:43This particular meeting is important because it's a fourth step actually.
00:48I'm participating from the very first day of this process.
00:51Officials from Azerbaijan say the talks are part of a broader diplomatic framework designed to move the process forward.
00:58For 30 years we've lived with closed borders and we haven't had the chance of having structured dialogue,
01:05which created the framework of mutual dehumanization.
01:09It is extremely important to continue these talks in this world where the violence and conflict grows around us,
01:16so it's very important to keep the track of peace.
01:19While significant challenges remain, continued dialogue is an important step in maintaining communication between the two sides.
01:25For now, meetings like this one in Gabala represent another attempt to keep the peace process flowing.
