Azerbaijan outlines conditions for signing a peace treaty with Armenia

Baku has legitimate expectations from Yerevan. They are related to the exclusion of territorial claims against Azerbaijan from the Constitution of Armenia. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov.

He also considers it important to abolish the Minsk Group, which is no longer needed due to the end of the conflict. Bayramov stressed that Baku's position on opening transport communications in Nakhichevan remains unchanged. Azerbaijan expects Armenia to fulfill its obligations.

On May 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that there will be no war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to him, the draft agreement on peace and the establishment of interstate relations between the countries has been agreed upon and is awaiting signing.

"Despite all internal and external provocations, there will be no war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, there will be peace. We will follow this path. Our region has earned the right to live in peace and prosperity, and this is how it should be," the Armenian Prime Minister stressed.
