Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has held a meeting with OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioğlu to discuss regional issues, particularly efforts aimed at establishing peace in the South Caucasus.
The sides discussed the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and noted the importance of finalizing the text of an agreement on peace and inter-state relations between the two countries, the Armenian Foreign Ministry’s press service, Caliber.Az reports, citing local media.
In the context of unblocking regional communications, the vast potential of the South Caucasus was highlighted.
The parties also shared views on the process of normalising relations between Armenia and Türkiye.
On March 13, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the completion of negotiations on the text of the draft Agreement on Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations between Baku and Yerevan. The last two points agreed upon were related to the non-deployment of third-party forces along the common border and a mutual waiver of claims in international courts.
On the Armenian side, the Armenian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Armenia had accepted Azerbaijan’s proposals on the two remaining disputed issues. This development signals that the peace agreement is now ready for formal signing.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov also confirmed that both countries had agreed on the terms of the draft treaty and reiterated Azerbaijan’s commitment to advancing peace and stability efforts in the South Caucasus.
