Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan has described the joint peace declaration signed with Azerbaijan in Washington as “historic” and an opportunity to advance normalisation with Türkiye.
Speaking to Anadolu after the signing, Kostanyan said the declaration was significant for both Armenia–Azerbaijan normalisation and Armenia’s relations with the U.S. The agreement was signed under the auspices of U.S. President Donald Trump following a trilateral summit at the White House with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
“Both our bilateral meetings with the U.S. and the U.S.–Armenia–Azerbaijan trilateral meeting were very important, even historic,” he said. Kostanyan added that Armenia also signed memorandums of understanding with Washington on artificial intelligence, semiconductors and energy.
On Türkiye–Azerbaijan relations, he said President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s statements in support of Armenia–Azerbaijan normalisation had positively influenced talks. “After signing this peace declaration, we also see an important milestone and opportunity for normalisation with Türkiye. If we re-establish communication between Türkiye and Armenia, this project can become more practical and more significant regionally and globally,” he said.
Kostanyan expressed hope that Türkiye would respond to Armenia’s goodwill by opening the Türkiye–Armenia border and establishing diplomatic relations. “We can achieve an important milestone for stability and economic prosperity in our region,” he said.
Trump said Armenia and Azerbaijan had committed to ending hostilities, launching commercial and diplomatic relations, and respecting each other’s territorial integrity.
