Pashinyan gives timeline for signing peace treaty with Azerbaijan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told journalists that a peace treaty with Azerbaijan should be signed in 2027-2028. Day.az, citing Armenian media, reports that Pashinyan had previously said the agreement could be signed by 2031.

Pashinyan also stressed the importance of working with Azerbaijan. Speaking about changes to Armenia's constitution, he said a draft of the Basic Law will soon be published, public discussions will begin, and the document will then be submitted to parliament.

Pashinyan said he would try to persuade opposition colleagues that the issue is important and fundamental to the survival of the Armenian state. If that fails, he said, other scenarios will be considered, including early elections. He recalled his promise to citizens to amend the constitution and sign and ratify the peace agreement, adding that if Armenians do not see this promise fulfilled, his political mission could end.
