The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is in the past, and from now on, the horizons of Azerbaijan's foreign policy are expanding.

Axar.az reports that Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Issues of the Presidential Administration, said this in a conversation with journalists.

"We have a different geopolitical identity. Azerbaijan, on the one hand, is a country in the South Caucasus, and on the other, it is a Central Asian country, a country belonging to the Caspian basin. Azerbaijan is an integral part of the Middle East region, is in the Black Sea basin. All this creates the basis for conducting an active policy based on the new foreign policy concept for Azerbaijan defined by Mr. President," Hajiyev said.

According to him, this format promises great opportunities and possibilities for further deepening relations between Azerbaijan and the countries of Central Asia, which are based on strategic partnership and alliance, and for expanding economic, trade, cultural, humanitarian relations, as well as transport and logistics ties.
