NATO Secretary General called on Armenia to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan

Jens Stoltenberg, at a meeting in Yerevan with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, called on Armenia to quickly sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan. “Baku and Yerevan can achieve lasting peace,” the guest said.

Pashinyan, in turn, said that Baku did not accept Yerevan’s proposals on arms control and non-aggression. “We have not received a positive response from Azerbaijan,” said the Armenian prime minister. At the same time, he confirmed his readiness to resolve relations with Azerbaijan.

Pashinyan also discussed with Stoltenberg reforms in the Armenian army.

“The reform process is not directed against any country and is aimed only at strengthening the army and protecting the territorial integrity of Armenia. We also attach great importance to peacekeeping missions. The Armenian peacekeeping contingent continues its mission in Kosovo, and in 2023, due to some tension there, we decided to send an additional 17 military personnel,” Pashinyan said.
