Azerbaijani MP urges Armenia to take concrete steps toward final peace treaty

Azerbaijani MP Konul Nurullayeva said Armenia must take concrete steps toward signing a final peace treaty with Azerbaijan. She told Modern.az that the Washington agreements of 8 August 2025 created a diplomatic basis for lasting peace, but serious obstacles remain.

According to Nurullayeva, no expected progress followed Armenia's June 2026 parliamentary elections, the formation of a new government or the adoption of the 2026–2031 Government Programme. She said Azerbaijan has lifted transit restrictions and favoured direct dialogue, while Yerevan is slowing its obligations, most notably on the constitution, as the new draft has not yet been presented to the public.

She also pointed to delays in the TRIPP project and uncertainty over border delimitation and enclaves, and called on Armenia to turn peace into a long-term state strategy. Armenian Justice Minister Srbuhi Galstyan expects the draft constitution to be presented by the end of 2026, while Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said TRIPP construction could start in late 2026 or early 2027.
