Description

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that Yerevan and Baku had 'fully agreed' on 13 out of 16 articles of the peace treaty on settlement of the Karabakh conflict, at a joint press conference with Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn on Monday.

"The version in our latest revision, is a fully agreed text. It contains articles that were previously fully agreed, or parts of articles that were partially agreed. <...> Technically, we have 16 articles, of which 13 have been agreed upon fully and 3 have been agreed upon partially," he said.

Mirzoyan also stressed Armenia’s desire to sign the approved paragraphs of the document 'as soon as possible'.

"That was our proposal - to sign what has been agreed so far. So whether there are any inconsistencies in the text, my understanding is that there are none. <...> Our approach is to be able to sign a text that has already been agreed as soon as possible," he said.

On April 19, the Armenian Foreign Ministry announced that four villages - Baghanis Ayrum, Ashaghi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Ghizilhajili - would be transferred to Baku.

On November 9, 2020, after 44 days of armed conflict in Karabakh, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a trilateral declaration on a ceasefire in the republic. On May 25, 2023, Yerevan and Baku agreed on mutual recognition of territorial integrity.

On September 19, 2023, the conflict in Karabakh escalated again after the Baku authorities accused Yerevan of 'systematic shelling of positions of the Azerbaijani army' and launched a counter-terrorism operation in the region. At the same time, Pashinyan denied the presence of the Armenian armed forces in Karabakh.

On September 20, the Ministry of Defense of the unrecognised Nagorno-Karabakh Republic announced the decision to lay down arms and cease fire, and on September 28, NKR leader Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree on the self-dissolution of the republic from January 1, 2024.
