Aliyev says Pashinyan could accept Baku’s peace deal conditions
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reported progress in negotiations with Armenia on a bilateral peace deal.
“15 of the 17 articles in the draft peace treaty have been agreed upon,” he told Russia Today in an interview on Wednesday.
Sharing his impressions from the meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Kazan in late October, Aliyev said Armenia could accept Azerbaijan’s conditions regarding the remaining issues, including the mutual withdrawal of international lawsuits against each other and the non-deployment of other countries’ forces on their shared border.
He insisted on changes to Armenia’s constitution which, he argued, contains “territorial claims” to Azerbaijan, and the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group that dealt with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
