PM: Armenia, Azerbaijan in final consultations before signing peace deal

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has announced that Armenia and Azerbaijan are in the final stages of consultations to sign a long-anticipated peace agreement, with the text of the deal already bilaterally agreed upon.

Pashinyan made these remarks during a speech in Prague, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Armenian government. 

Speaking at an international forum, Pashinyan said the two countries had achieved significant progress in negotiations this year.

“We succeeded in concluding negotiations with Azerbaijan on a peace agreement between our two countries with positive results,” he stated. “The draft has been bilaterally agreed upon, and now the time has come to sign the peace accord.”

The prime minister emphasised that both sides are currently engaged in consultations aimed at formally finalising and signing the agreement.

On June 13, Pashinyan arrived in Prague on a working visit to attend the high-profile GLOBSEC 2025 Forum, where he spoke in a session titled "Armenia in a Shifting World", focusing on the country’s foreign policy and strategic role amid global changes. 

As part of the forum’s agenda, Pashinyan took part in a panel discussion titled "Seizing the Moment: Forging Lasting Partnerships in the Neighbourhood", which  focuses on fostering regional cooperation and strengthening diplomatic ties.

The 20th anniversary edition of the GLOBSEC Forum is being held in the historic city of Prague, Czechia. Over two decades, the Forum has established itself as one of Europe’s most influential platforms for shaping global security and stability. This year’s gathering brought together world leaders, innovators. 

Since its founding in 2005, the GLOBSEC Forum has become a trusted platform for fostering dialogue and driving action.  This 20th anniversary is not just a celebration but a reflection on two decades of progress and an opportunity to reaffirm GLOBSEC’s commitment to global security, resilience, and prosperity.
