YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. Armenia hopes the expected reactions of Azerbaijan on a peace treaty to reflect the discussions and understanding of the Washington foreign ministerial talks, PM Nikol Pashinyan said when asked whether or not the signing of a peace treaty is planned anytime during the upcoming negotiations.

Negotiations in Moscow are planned for May 25.

Pashinyan said signing a peace treaty by May 25 would be unrealistic. “I can’t rule it out if we were to have success in having a common understanding regarding the opening of connections. Our task is to complete the negotiations and sign a peace treaty as soon as possible. Our team is working very intensively,” Pashinyan said.

Armenia had conveyed to Azerbaijan an amended version of the peace treaty before the Washington talks and now Yerevan is waiting for Baku’s response.

“We hope [the Azerbaijani response] will reflect the discussions, understanding and agreements, the progress of understanding during the Washington talks. If Azerbaijan would convey its response this week and one week were to be enough for studying it, if we were to see that we find these proposals and approaches to be acceptable in terms of compromise logic, then why not? But so far we haven’t received their response,” Pashinyan said.
