Mirzoyan: Azerbaijan refuses to sign a peace treaty and puts forward  more and more demands

ArmInfo.Yerevan does not see any political will from Baku to sign a peace treaty. This was stated  by the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Ararat Mirzoyan at the Warsaw Security Forum on October 2.  

According to him, today there is  a real opportunity to close the chapter on the conflict between  Armenia and Azerbaijan and open a new chapter of peace and  cooperation in the region.  However, Mirzoyan stated that Azerbaijan  continues to refuse to sign the peace treaty, instead putting forward  additional new demands.

"We see that they simply do not want to sign the treaty. There is no  agreement in the world that would regulate all the issues between the  parties. We propose to sign the agreed part of the document, and then  negotiate on other issues. Unfortunately, we do not see any political  will from Azerbaijan in this matter," Mirzoyan said. At the same  time, the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry also shared his  concerns about Baku's plans. "There are serious concerns that  Azerbaijan has far-reaching military plans against Armenia and its  territories. For example, Azerbaijan currently uses the narrative of  "Western Azerbaijan", encompassing almost the entire territory of  Armenia by this term. Baku assures that this is not a territorial  claim, but the impression is different," Mirzoyan said.

Touching upon the situation in the Middle East, the head of the  Armenian Foreign Ministry noted that Yerevan is concerned about the  latest events (the escalation of relations between Israel and other  countries in the Middle East - ed.). "We in Armenia do our best to  achieve peace in our region and here we see that some other countries  in larger neighborhoods strike each other with missiles. O of course,  we are concerned," Mirzoyan said, expressing hope that the conflict  in the Middle East will  itd soonest possible settlement.
