ArmInfo.The Siloviki TV channel published a document, which, according to the channel, was discussed on September 27, 2022 in Washington (most likely, judging  by the date, between Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia  Armen Grigoryan and  assistant to the President of Azerbaijan Hikmet  Hajiyev).

According to the source, this document became a key topic of  conversation in Prague between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and  Turkey.

So, according to the English-language document under the headings:  "Obligations of the parties in the tripartite negotiations", the  parties committed themselves to the following:

"The foreign ministers of the parties will begin time-bound, text  bassed negotiations to complete a peace agreement by the end of the  calendar year.

Representatives of the delimitation committee will complete the  delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani international border in  parallel with the negotiations to be done by the end of the calendar  year.

The Azerbaijani government will nominate a representative to work  with a similar representative designated by  the Armenian ethnic  community of Nagorno-Karabakh  to conduct discussions on the rights  and securities for the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh. The  representatives will provide transparency  to the international  community on their discussions . The parties will  continue to review  the role of an international observer without prejudice to the  sovereignty of Azerbaijan, as well as to ensure the protection of the  minority group in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The parties committed to remain engaged in discussions on  establishing a route for providing ground communication between  Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan, including mutual access for Armenia  through the territory of Azerbaijan.

All detainees during the September 2022 violence will be released  without preconditions in the coming days."

In addition, as the facilitator of discussions between the parties,  the United States expects "the parties to ensure that there is no  resumption of violence and expects the parties to focus on progress  in negotiations to complete the process by the end of this year.

They propose to promptly provide technical assistance to unblock  transport links, delimitation of borders and demining territories.

They propose to meet again in this format before the end of the year  in order to take stock and remove possible barriers regarding the  peace treaty process and related discussions. "The document is dated  September 27.

The ArmInfo editorial office turned to the Armenian Foreign Ministry  to clarify the reliability of this information. However, it was not  possible to get a comment at the time of publication of the  information.  Thus, it was not possible to verify the authenticity of  this document.

We also add that earlier there were such documents before the signing  of a tripartite agreement, and after the withdrawal of Armenian  troops in December 2020 from Kovsakan and Sanasar.
