A peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia could be signed in 2027 or 2028, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Thursday, state news agency Armenpress reported.
“We need to continue working with Azerbaijan,” Pashinyan said at a press briefing when asked about the agreement.
He added that he had previously expected a peace agreement with Azerbaijan to be signed by 2031, but now believed it should be signed sooner.
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and Pashinyan initialed an agreement and, along with U.S. President Donald Trump, signed a joint declaration at a summit in the White House, aiming to end decades of conflict in August 2025. The agreement committed both sides to cease hostilities, reopen transport routes and normalise relations.
Baku has said that Yerevan must drop territorial claims against Azerbaijan in the Armenian Constitution before any peace treaty is signed.
“After territorial claims against Azerbaijan are fully ended, we will be ready to sign the peace agreement,” Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan told the Turkish media outlet Haber Global in April.
Pashinyan has said he hasn’t ruled out holding snap parliamentary elections to adopt a new constitution, and that they will publish a draft of the new document “in the near future,” launch discussions, and submit it to parliament.
“We will try to persuade our opposition colleagues that this is a very important and fundamental issue, one that concerns determining and resolving the question of the continuity of the Armenian state. We will try to persuade them. If that does not work, we will pursue other scenarios, including holding snap elections,” he said.
Pashinyan added that the implementation of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), a transit corridor project linking Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave through southern Armenia, is also important.
“Of course, one has nothing to do with the other, but we are now beginning to implement the TRIPP project,” Pashinyan said.
Armenian officials visited the southern Syunik region to advance plans for a U.S.-backed transit route on Wednesday.
