Armenia responded to the five-point proposal presented by Azerbaijan both publicly and through working-diplomatic channels. Baku’s claim that Armenia left the proposals without response absolutely has nothing to do with the reality, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during the Cabinet meeting today.
“Perhaps, the most exploited topic by Azerbaijan for provoking regional escalation is the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan continues to claim that Armenia leaves that issue without response. Whereas, this information absolutely has nothing to do with the reality because I have repeatedly publicly expressed the readiness of Armenia to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan.
But the thing is that today as well Azerbaijan continues announcing that it has transferred a five-point proposal to Armenia, but we have allegedly left these proposals without response. At the previous Cabinet meeting, I have thoroughly touched upon this issue live and stated that on March 10, a 5-point proposal of Azerbaijan was handed over to Armenia, and on March 14, four days later, two of which were non-working days, we responded in writing to that proposal, and handed over that response in the same way we received it.
Pashinyan emphasized that this is Armenia’s official position and Armenia responded to Azerbaijan’s five-point proposal both publicly and through working-diplomatic channels.
“This response means that the principle of mutual recognition of territorial integrity and inviolability of borders is acceptable for Armenia”, he said.
