Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has addressed some speculations concerning the Brussels meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders held on 31 August.

“The position of the Armenian side regarding the five provisions proposed by Azerbaijan is unchanged. As we have stated before, we find nothing unacceptable in the proposals forwarded by Azerbaijan on March 10, 2022. Another thing is that these proposals do not address all issues of the Armenia-Azerbaijan comprehensive peace agenda. With our response forwarded to the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, we completed the agenda, and therefore, on that basis, we are ready for the continuation of peace negotiations,” he said in his comments on Saturday.”

“This was once again confirmed by Prime Minister Pashinyan during the recent discussions held in Brussels.

“Not listening or trying not to listen to this position gives the Armenian side a reason to question the sincerity of Azerbaijan's intention in achieving peace. Moreover, the continued arbitrary, false interpretations of the negotiations and the avoidance to implement the agreements make an impression that Azerbaijan intends to undermine the peace process and continue its policy of ethnic cleansing through the use of force,” Mirzoyan said.
