Russian political scientist: Armenia and Azerbaijan unlikely to sign  peace treaty in the near future

ArmInfo.A peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan is unlikely to be signed in the  foreseeable future, according to political scientist and Central Asia expert Arkady Dubnov.

The Russian expert expressed this position following the interview of  Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev with RIA Novosti, where the  latter, in particular, stated: "A peace treaty and simultaneous  arming of Armenia are incompatible." Dubnov noted that in addition to  Baku's previous demands, which must be met before signing - changing  the Constitution of Armenia to remove Nagorno-Karabakh as part of  Armenia, and dissolving the OSCE Minsk Group on Karabakh as  unnecessary, since Armenia  has already recognized this region as  part of Azerbaijan - a new demand has emerged: denial of Armenia's  right to acquire weapons.
