YEREVAN, May 29. /TASS/. Armenia and Azerbaijan haven’t yet agreed on a peace treaty that could be signed on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Chisinau on June 1, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the country’s parliament on Monday.

There was a discussion if the peace treaty could be signed when the European Council president, the French president, the German chancellor, the Azerbaijani president and Pashinyan meet in Chisinau, the Armenian prime minister said.

"I must say we haven’t received answers to the fourth package of our proposals to Azerbaijan. To date, there’s no agreed package that could be signed," he said.

The Armenian prime minister also said that he was dissatisfied with the results of talks with Russia that took place in Moscow on May 25 regarding the lifting of the Lachin corridor blockade.

"I would like to note that one of the issues of the discussion was related to the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and the illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor. We discussed this issue with our colleagues from Russia. I cannot say that the results of this discussion are satisfactory. It is a very sad situation that the closure of the Lachin corridor occurred in the presence of Russian peacekeepers. We will continue negotiations with our Russian partners to resolve this situation," he said.

Pashinyan also commented on some statements by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, adding that Yerevan was starting to doubt Baku's commitment to the agreements that were reached in Brussels on May 14.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
