Armenia`s Security Council Secretary  announces  convergence of   Yerevan and Baku narratives 

ArmInfo. If one or two years ago, Armenia and Azerbaijan were discussing conflicting  narratives, now these narratives  are largely similar, as stated by  Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan, who  spoke  jointly with Aide to the President of Azerbaijan Hikmet  Hajiyev at a panel discussion at the international forum in Doha.

"One or two years ago, we used to talk about conflicting narratives  whenever we had the chance to meet.  Now, many of them are in  agreement, while some are not, but I am confident that we will  strengthen cooperation to enhance future prospects," Grigoryan  stated.

The Security Council Secretary believes that both sides need  political will, and the international community can assist in  peacebuilding. Armen Grigoryan is convinced that the peace agreement  signed between Yerevan and Baku on August 8 in Washington has changed  the atmosphere in the Caucasus. "We are now focusing  on  strengthening peace and institutionalizing it, rather than  the  conflict itself," he noted.

According to Grigoryan, the future ratification of the peace  agreement and the lifting of the communications blockade in the  region are part of the process of institutionalizing the agreements  reached between Baku and Yerevan in Washington on August 8, because  "the peoples of the region deserve it."
