Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reiterated determination to sign the peace treaty with Azerbaijan. He said Armenia has been working every day in that direction, and will continue to do so.
Pashinyan was asked to comment on the opposition’s announcement that they would invalidate the Washington accords in the event of coming to power in the next general election.
Speaking at a press briefing after the Cabinet meeting, Pashinyan said that voters in the next parliamentary election would have to chose between “peace and not peace.”
“I don’t want to say peace or war, I will say it more mildly – between peace and not peace. And this is why I clearly said in my Monday address that this peace needs everyday care, and this is something we must all do together, each in their place, including the citizens, while making up their stance in politics,” Pashinyan said.
On August 8, Armenia and Azerbaijan initialed the peace agreement.
Pashinyan afterwards said that the initialing means that peace has been established between the two countries.
