  Armenian FM expresses optimism about soonest finalisation of peace treaty with Azerbaijan

Armenia and Azerbaijan will be able to agree on the entire draft peace agreement in the near future, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said.

“I want to say with cautious optimism that in the near future, we will be able to agree on one or two remaining points and have a fully agreed peace treaty,” he said addressing parliament during the discussion of the draft state budget for 2025, AzVision.az reports citing the Armenian media.

Previously, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev stated that it would be "simply impossible" to reach a peace deal with Armenia as its constitution contains territorial claims against Azerbaijan. These claims and other legislative acts remain key obstacles to finalizing the peace agreement.

Armenia’s Declaration of Independence, signed in August 1990, includes a joint decision by the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Karabakh Council to "reunify the Armenian SSR and the Mountainous Region of Karabakh".
