A peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be inked before Baku hosts the UN’s COP29 climate conference
Armenia hopes to sign provisions of a peace deal with Azerbaijan in the next four weeks, the country's president Vahagn Khachaturyan told Reuters.
Armenian President said Yerevan was hopeful Azerbaijan would sign 16 of the articles before the COP29 climate change conference that Baku is hosting on November 11-22.
"Had it been only us, we would sign it right now, today," he said, speaking on the sidelines of the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, adding "but we do hope we will reach that point sooner or later."
The agreed articles contain internationally accepted core provisions for establishing diplomatic relations. They also stipulate the mechanism that enables both sides to continue negotiations, among other provisions, according to a speech made by the Armenian prime minister last month.
Khachaturyan also said talks with Turkey, Azerbaijan's close ally, are going well, and there is a proposal under consideration to open the border between the two countries for third-country citizens and those with diplomatic passports.
"This will be a signal that real diplomatic relations have become a reality," he said.
