Armenia has proposed bilateral meetings with Azerbaijan for the signing of a peace treaty
Chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, Sargis Khandanyan, announced that Armenia has proposed to Azerbaijan to hold bilateral meetings.
Recently, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also made a similar statement. The main reason for this proposal is to discuss the unresolved points of the peace treaty.
Earlier, Nikol Pashinyan stated that 13 out of the 16 articles of the peace treaty had been agreed upon. The Armenian side’s goal is to sign the treaty based on the agreed points before the COP-29 summit expected on November 11, which will be held in Baku.
However, bilateral meetings are unlikely, as the resolution of the region’s issues involves the US, the West, and Turkey, as well as Russia, which was the third party to the November 9 agreement.
Without the presence of a third power in the bilateral format, there will be no restraining mechanism in place. After signing the November 9 document, Azerbaijan launched large-scale operations against Artsakh.
