Where will the peace treaty be signed: Moscow, Washington or the border?

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that attention should soon be focused on signing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and ratifying the document. He considers signing the agreement important for ensuring the longevity of Armenian statehood. Pashinyan spoke about this in a video address shared on social media.

“Once this happens, we will be able to say that we have laid the foundation for the longevity of Armenian statehood,” the prime minister stressed. He linked this view to his statement: “For the first time, history is not repeating itself; we are creating it.”

In a comment to Modern.az, former ambassador Nasib Nasibli said that signing the peace treaty as soon as possible is in the interests of both countries. He believes the step could help reduce Russia's influence in the South Caucasus and contribute to wider stability and cooperation in the region. Nasibli said Moscow, Washington, Strasbourg and Brussels could be interested in playing a role in the process, but that the most suitable option is signing between Azerbaijan and Armenia in one of the border regions. He noted that the agreement has already been initialled and that bringing the process to a logical conclusion is important.
