Armenian premier optimistic about signing peace treaty with Azerbaijan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed optimism about the possibility of signing a peace treaty, stating, "Every day is a great opportunity to sign a peace treaty".

According to Caliber.Az, citing Armenian media, Pashinyan made the remarks on May 29 during a conversation with journalists in the National Assembly. He was responding to comments that the upcoming COP-29 conference in Baku in November presents a significant opportunity to finalize a peace agreement.

"The problem is that it is necessary to reach an agreement on the text of the peace treaty. I hope that an agreement will be reached, or rather this agreement was reached on October 6, 2022, in Prague, then in Sochi, Brussels. The key principles have been agreed upon, what remains is to reproduce them in the text of the peace treaty. I think we have an opportunity to finalize this task as soon as possible. When we see this task has been completed, summarized and we should already proceed to the signing, the determination of the venue and time is another matter that will be further discussed," Pashinyan explained.

He further added, "I can say that now we have a significant change of atmosphere, but this does not mean that we have reached the finish line, it remains to be signed."
