Vaira Vike-Freiberga: Azerbaijan’s resolution of frozen conflict sets rare example

“Azerbaijan is one of the rare countries globally to resolve a 28-year-old frozen conflict,” Azernews reports, citing Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the former President of Latvia and the co-chair of the Nizami Ganjavi International Centre, as she addressed the 11th Global Baku Forum on "Fixing the Fractured World".

She also highlighted that Armenia illegally occupied the territory of its neighbour, violating international law, and Azerbaijan restored its territorial integrity.
