Pashinyan: Yerevan-Baku peace not only possible, but also quite achievable

Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is not only possible but also quite achievable, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly in the US.

He noted that one of the key steps was the agreement signed on August 30 on joint work of commissions on border delimitation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Pashinyan emphasized that this is the first bilateral document signed by the parties. He also noted that the parties agreed to use the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration as a basic principle for determining borders, which means mutual recognition of territorial integrity and inviolability of borders.

Pashinyan added that the next step will be signing a peace treaty and establishing full-fledged interstate cooperation. Armenia proposes to sign the already agreed articles of the peace agreement with Baku, and discuss the remaining points later.

There is no peace agreement that would immediately resolve all issues, he said. Even after signing the treaty, countries can continue to conclude new agreements and reach additional arrangements, the prime minister of Armenia added.
