“Unless a peace agreement is signed and such an agreement is ratified by the parliaments of the two countries, of course, a new war with Azerbaijan is very likely,” said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
“WEST AND RUSSIA blaming each other”
Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan made statements about the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Evaluating the possibility of a new war with Azerbaijan as high in his statement, Pashinyan said, “Unless a peace agreement is signed and such an agreement is not approved by the parliaments of the two countries, a new war is of course very likely.”
Stating that both the West and Russia blame each other, Pashinyan said, “According to the logic of some circles in the West, Russia does not meet all our expectations because it does not fulfill its obligations. Likewise, Russia tells us the same about the West.”
AZERBAIJAN TAKES THE FIRST STEP IN THE PEACE AGREEMENT
After the Second Karabakh War, the European Union (EU), the United States and Russia are mediating for the solution of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Azerbaijan took the first step towards the preparation of a peace agreement between the two countries and offered Armenia a five-point peace agreement. Although Armenia accepted these offers, it declared that it was ready for peace talks. However, the negotiations have not yielded any results yet. Tensions between the two countries escalated after Azerbaijan temporarily closed the Lachin Corridor connecting Karabakh to Armenia for security reasons.
AZERBAIJAN’S PROPOSAL OF 5 ARTICLES
Azerbaijan’s 5-point peace agreement proposal to Armenia is that states mutually recognize each other’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, inviolability of international borders and political independence; mutual confirmation that the states have no territorial claims against each other and that they have a legal obligation not to make such claims in the future; refrain from threatening each other’s security, threats to political independence and territorial integrity, and the use of force and other situations incompatible with the purposes of the UN Charter; determination of borders and establishment of diplomatic relations; It includes the opening of transportation and communication lines, the establishment of other relevant communication networks and cooperation in the fields of interest.
