Pashinyan agrees with Aliyev on several points

ArmInfo. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has agreed to the idea of withdrawing the lawsuits filed by  Yerevan against Baku in international courts. He also doesn't oppose the non-deployment of third-country forces on the border, but he has some reservations.

The day before, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev gave an interview  to the Russian VGTRK TV channel and the RIA Novosti agency. Aliyev,  in particular, stated that Yerevan and Baku had agreed on 15 out of  17 articles in the draft peace treaty. One of the articles that was  not agreed upon involves both parties refraining from international  lawsuits against each other. In Aliyev's opinion, . Another article concerns the non-deployment of  representatives of other countries along the border. Aliyev said.

Pashinyan noted today in an interview with  the state-run news agency.  As the prime minister  pointed out, there are two nuances here. One is that there should be  a clear prospect for bilaterally resolving individual humanitarian  issues that are currently under discussion at international courts.  Secondly, it should be understood that after withdrawing disputes  from international platforms regarding other issues, the parties  should not continue to bring up the same issues in bilateral  relations agenda, making them a  permanent source of escalation.

As for the non-deployment of third-country forces on the  Armenia-Azerbaijan border, according to the head of the Armenian  Cabinet, Yerevan proposes  the article regarding the non-deployment  of third-country forces to cover the delimited parts of the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and this is logical, because the risk of  escalation significantly decreases  if not minimizes through  delimitation. Thus, once the delimitation is complete, there will be  no need for the presence of a third force along any part of the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and the Republic of Armenia is proposing  this logic, he added.   Nikol Pashinyan said.
