Armenia, Azerbaijan could sign peace treaty in foreseeable future, says Moscow

YEREVAN, MAY 26, ARMENPRESS. Moscow believes that the current circumstances allow expecting that Armenia and Azerbaijan could sign a peace treaty in the foreseeable future, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said.

Peskov stressed that the final solution of all issues is what matters, and not the time.

The Kremlin spokesperson said that representatives of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan will hold a meeting next week in Moscow to discuss existing issues.

“There is no objective to finalize everything because what matters is the final result, no one is in a hurry,” TASS quoted Peskov as saying. No one can predict an exact timeframe for the signing of the peace treaty, he noted.

“Although, as it was noted at yesterday’s meeting, the circumstances have now changed in many ways, and basically these changed circumstances allow achieving the signing of the peace treaty in the foreseeable future,” he added.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan held trilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Moscow on May 25. A deputy prime ministerial meeting between the three sides is expected next week.
