MP: Signals in international media indicate Armenia has accepted Azerbaijan’s demands

Upcoming peace talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Washington reflect the United States' strong interest in the South Caucasus and its support for lasting peace and regional stability, said Member of Parliament Parvana Valiyeva, speaking to Report.

Valiyeva emphasized that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev put forward a peace initiative following the 44-day war and proposed a well-structured draft peace agreement based on five principles of international law.

"While the text of the draft agreement has been agreed upon by both sides, two critical issues raised by Azerbaijan remain unresolved," she noted. "These include the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is now an obsolete structure of a non-existent conflict, and the removal of territorial claims against Azerbaijan from Armenia’s Constitution."

Valiyeva added that signals in both international and domestic media suggest Armenia may be moving toward accepting these demands.

“Without fulfilling these conditions and opening the Zangazur Corridor, signing a peace treaty is unrealistic,” she said. “Our president has repeatedly stated that we seek peace not with Pashinyan personally, but with the Armenian people. That’s why the Armenian people must say 'YES' to constitutional reforms, that is to acknowledge Azerbaijan’s legitimate interests.”
