Yerevan sent Baku the remaining proposals on the peace treaty
Armenia has sent proposals to Azerbaijan on two non-agreed points of the peace agreement and is ready to sign it in the event of a positive response. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan.
 
At the same time, Pashinyan noted that Yerevan expects from Baku a clear recognition of Armenia's territorial integrity.
 
 "As for the concerns related to our weapons, we also have concerns about Azerbaijan's weapons. It is for this reason that we made a proposal to form a mechanism for mutual control over weapons and we are waiting for a response," said the head of the Armenian Cabinet of Ministers.
 
Pashinyan also responded to the accusation by the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, that Armenia is a fascist state.
 
"Counting on a counter-reaction in the spirit of "you yourself are a fascist", and the situation I described will begin to escalate. But there is another approach: we state that Armenia is perceived this way in Azerbaijan, and we try to understand why, what is the reason. On the other hand, it is obvious that a similar perception of Azerbaijan also exists in Armenia. It was these mutual ideas that led to the long-term conflict," Pashinyan shared his thoughts.
