US State Secretary Antony Blinken has upgraded his mediating role between the two countries, aiming to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to begin work on a peace treaty.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed parliament in the wake of clashes at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Pashinyan announced that he would sign a document stipulating that “Armenia will have lasting peace and security in an area of 29,800 square kilometers,” in reference to the size of the internationally recognized territories of the Republic of Armenia . “I clearly state that I will sign a document that will ensure [this],” the Armenian premier confidently stated.
Under this pressure, Pashinyan, seeking to calm down the angry crowd, shared a post on his Facebook profile, stating that what he said in parliament was taken out of context and that he was not going to sign any documents with Azerbaijan . It is unclear whether this backtrack means Yerevan has abandoned the negotiations for a peace treaty altogether.
