1 minute read

The finalized text of the draft peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan doesn’t contain any provision about the return of refugees, Armenian FM Ararat Mirzoyan has said.

“The agreed-upon text of the peace agreement with Azerbaijan doesn’t contain any provision about people who, before the fall of the USSR, had lived in the territories of the two countries and left them, returning to their homes or the territories where their ancestors once lived,” Mirzoyan told Members of Parliament.

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan announced on March 13 that the negotiations around the peace treaty have been successfully concluded. The date and location of signing the agreement is yet to be determined.
