Armenia is reaffirming its readiness to sign an agreement for a peaceful settlement based on international norms. At a recent briefing with journalists, the President of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, stated that Armenia is waiting for Azerbaijan to make a similar commitment. Simonyan mentioned that international partners have informed him that Azerbaijan is 80% ready to agree to the terms. However, the denial of meetings has consistently come from Azerbaijan in various locations such as Baku, Grozny, and Washington.

Armenia continues to emphasize that the ball is now in Azerbaijan’s court. If Azerbaijan’s president announces their readiness, an agreement can be reached. Simonyan also highlighted that the initial plan was to finalize the agreement within 15 days, provided Azerbaijan does not exert any external political or military pressure. Armenia remains open to further negotiations, as it has always been willing to meet, unlike Azerbaijan.

The situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan has garnered significant attention from the international community. Both sides have been engaged in discussions, but the statements coming from Azerbaijan seem to echo previous positions. Armenia’s President of the National Assembly urges Azerbaijan to make a definitive announcement and join Armenia in signing an agreement for a peaceful settlement.

Armenia believes that signing the agreement based on international norms is crucial for achieving lasting peace in the region. The country reiterates its commitment to the negotiation process and hopes that Azerbaijan will reciprocate this commitment. As the world watches, Armenia waits for Azerbaijan’s response. The potential for a peaceful settlement remains, but it requires efforts from both parties involved.
