(Interfax) – Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has expressed hope for the soonest possible signing of a peace agreement with Azerbaijan.
“Every day presents a perfect opportunity to sign the peace agreement. The thing is that we need consensus on the peace agreement’s text. Hopefully, the consensus will be reached. Actually, it was reached in Prague on October 6, 2022, and later on, in Sochi and in Brussels. The key principles of the agreement have been agreed upon, and all we have to do is implement them in the peace agreement’s text,” Pashinyan told reporters on Wednesday.
“I think we have an opportunity to complete the work very soon,” he said.
The time and venue for signing the agreement “is a different question to be discussed additionally,” Pashinyan said.
Armenia is ready to implement the project for unblocking regional communications at any time, Pashinyan said. “The Armenian government’s project, the Crossroads of Peace, expresses all our ideas about unblocking regional communications. We are ready to implement the project at any time, including with Azerbaijan,” he said.
“I say ‘including with Azerbaijan’ because the project concerns not only the opening and development of communications between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but also has regional significance,” Pashinyan said.
