Pashinyan: Yerevan has offered Baku dozens of times to conclude a peace treaty
Yerevan has offered Baku to conclude a peace treaty, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said. Interfax reported this on Wednesday, November 17.
“We also offered and offer Azerbaijan to sign a peace treaty,” Pashinyan said, speaking in parliament.
According to him , this is precisely the purpose of the negotiations within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. “It is strange when in Azerbaijan they constantly offer Armenia to sign a peace treaty, and they say that there is no reaction from Armenia. We have talked about this dozens of times. This is not an initiative of Azerbaijan, “Pashinyan added.
On November 16, battles began on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The parties accused each other of escalation. One Armenian soldier was killed, 13 were captured. Baku estimated its losses at seven dead and ten wounded. At the moment, the situation on the border has stabilized.
In October, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced his readiness to begin negotiations with Armenia through the mediation of the European Union. “We are ready to start negotiations with Armenia on signing a peace treaty, delimiting borders, opening communications. This process has partially begun, “he said.
