Following months of stalled negotiations, the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process is moving again. Despite the newfound optimism that a deal is close, both sides have given no indication of how they intend to settle major differences, reported Eurasianet
Following a brief meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan instructed their respective foreign ministers to fast-track negotiations on an “Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations.”
The most recent round of discussions focused on the delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border; both countries still control territories claimed by the other. Despite continuing disagreement on border delimitation, along with the apparent suspension of talks on the opening of road and rail links, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in Kazan that up 90 percent of the terms of a peace agreement have been finalized. He urged Azerbaijan to sign the peace agreement “as is,” and work out the outstanding details at a later date.
“With cautious optimism, I believe that in the near future we will be able to agree on one or two remaining points and have a fully agreed peace treaty,” declared Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan while speaking to parliament.
The nation of Turkey is involved in the peace process, Mirzoyan admitted.
“It is no secret that in Turkey this process is linked to relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, we hope that it will be possible to settle relations without preconditions,” he said.
