ArmInfo.The dominant Civil Contract faction cannot name a specific time frame for signing a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"It would be good if they could specify a time frame, but unfortunately, this is currently  impossible," faction secretary Artur Hovhannisyan said during  parliamentary briefings on September 16, answering a question about  how realistic it is to sign a peace treaty before the COP29 summit,  and whether there is sufficient international pressure in this  direction, including in the area of returning prisoners held in  Azerbaijan.

Earlier, French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Stephane  Sejourne said that Azerbaijan will have to demonstrate its sincere  desire to achieve peace before COP29. He also expressed hope that the  peace agreement will be signed before this summit.

According to Hovhannisyan, while the process is ongoing, it is not  possible to talk about any time frame.  "There is support from  international partners. We can judge how much pressure is being  exerted on Azerbaijan by the events that are taking place, as well as  by the statements of officials from different countries.

Yes, the event that will be organized in Azerbaijan is very  important, there will be a very representative composition in Baku.  We hope that our international partners will support us in promoting  the peace agenda. When it will be signed, on what terms, in what form  - we have talked a lot about this, the processes are ongoing and I  hope that everything will lead to positive developments>, - said  Oganesyan.

At the same time, according to the parliamentarian, it is too early  to talk about Armenia's participation in the climate summit in Baku.

<At the moment, I do not have an answer to this question. If such  developments occur, you will naturally learn about it. At the moment,  I believe that it is not yet time to talk about it>, - said Artur  Oganesyan.
