Armenia calls Azerbaijan to sign a peace agreement / day

Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed on the long -awaited peace treaty in March, which would put an end to a decade -long conflict between the two countries.

However, Baku demanded that Yerevan meet a number of claims before signing the contract, including changes in the Armenian Constitution.

Pashinian on Tuesday offered to sign a declaration on the liquidation of the so -called Minsk Group, one of the most important requirements of Baku.

The Minsk Group, which has actually been working for a long time ago, was formed under the auspices of the European Security and Cooperation Organization (OSCE) as a mediator to resolve the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. France, Russia and the United States became co -chairmen of the Minsk Group.

Pashinian also suggested a joint Armenian-Azerbaijan « mechanism for » Border Investigations and Ceasefire for Investigation « .

He stressed that there was « no reason for the war » between the two countries and that « there will be no war but there will be peace ».

Armenia claims to be ready to sign a peace treaty, but Baku demands Yerevan first amendments to the constitution, deleting formulations containing claims to Mount Karabakh.

Pashinian has stated that it requires a referendum in 2027 and called on the peace agreement to be signed earlier.

The Mountain Karabakh, which was part of the Azerbaijan SSR during the USSR, has existed as a « de facto » independent Armenian Republic since the early 1990s. Although, since the collapse of the USSR, Azerbaijan has not controlled the Karabakh, which has been considered its territory in the populated region of these Armenians. The international community also recognized the Karabakh as the part of Azerbaijan, and no country recognized the independence of the region.

In September 2023, as a result of Azerbaijan, as a result of a lightning military operation, control over this dispute area, as a result, as a result of which all 120,000 Karabakh people went to Armenia.
