Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has revealed that Armenia and Azerbaijan have reached a consensus on the text of a peace treaty, and the idea of a preliminary signing is under discussion. He shared these remarks during a press conference he convened.
“We have started consultations on how to move forward, and the idea of a preliminary signing is on the table. It’s one of the options under discussion, which could be realistic under certain conditions and less so under others,” Pashinyan said.
He reminded that the two sides have finalized the draft text on establishing peace and interstate relations, and negotiations on that text have concluded.
Pashinyan stressed that the Armenian government has not missed—and will not miss—any opportunity to sign the peace agreement.
On July 10, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met in Abu Dhabi to discuss various aspects of normalizing Armenia-Azerbaijan interstate relations. Both sides affirmed that bilateral talks are the most effective way to address all issues related to this process, and agreed to continue this results-oriented dialogue. The meeting lasted five hours.
