Armenia received Azerbaijan’s responses to proposals on a draft peace agreement, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said.
“As you know, we submitted our proposals to Azerbaijan on the settlement of relations or a draft peace treaty, and only yesterday we received their answers. So the discussions continue. We hope to reach an agreement on this issue as soon as possible,” said Mirzoyan (quote according to “Armenpress”).
According to him, Armenia is ready to organize a meeting of Prime Minister of the Republic Nikol Pashinyan, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Head of the European Council Charles Michel and French leader Emmanuel Macron within a reasonable time frame.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, the leaders of the two countries discussed the implementation of trilateral agreements between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
On November 10, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Yerevan was in favor of creating a three-kilometer demilitarized zone around Nagorno-Karabakh. This, according to him, will allow the unrecognized Karabakh Republic to refuse to maintain an army of such a magnitude, which it now needs “only because of the danger of being subjected to genocide” by Azerbaijan.
In late October, Putin, Aliyev and Pashinyan held a trilateral meeting in Sochi, where they agreed to refrain from using or threatening to use force in the context of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. The meeting participants also stressed the importance of preparing for the conclusion of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Russia confirmed its readiness to provide the necessary assistance to this.
