Mirzoyan: There is always a risk of escalation until a peace treaty  is a fact 

ArmInfo.There is always a risk of escalation until a peace treaty is a fact, as stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan at a press conference on January 8.  At the same time, he believes that it is highly unlikely  that Azerbaijan wants to sign a peace treaty, otherwise it would have been signed already.

However, according to Mirzoyan, this does not  mean that we should give up, but on the contrary, despite the  challenges, we must persevere in our efforts. "We really want to  establish a peace treaty in the South Caucasus and open all borders  and communications. We do not need to look at everything through  rose-colored glasses, but we also do not need to be overly  pessimistic," he noted.  The Armenian Foreign Ministry head also  assured that the topic of enclaves is not currently under discussion.  However, he refused to disclose the location where the border   delimitation process with Azerbaijan will resume. He mentioned that  he would prioritize addressing less complex issues first, leaving the  more challenging ones for a later stage, with decisions to be made by  the commissions. He called on the commissions to take the necessary  time to thoroughly consider all issues. When asked about the  unavailability of the commission regulations in Russian or English on  Azerbaijani websites, the minister explained that the regulations  were initially agreed upon in Russian, then translated into Armenian  and Azerbaijani, with the Armenian translation reviewed in  Azerbaijan, and vice versa. He added that he had not verified whether  these documents are available on Azerbaijani platforms.
