Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan spoke about the hurdles hindering a peace agreement between Yerevan and Baku, as reported by Back News Agency. He described how the Azerbaijani side continues to press the issue of Armenia’s security and territorial integrity by raising tensions along the Armenian border and in Nagorno-Karabakh, creating a climate that tests any move toward reconciliation.

In his assessment, Armenia remains committed to addressing current problems through dialogue and is prepared to enter into a peace treaty with Azerbaijan. He identified the central obstacles as Azerbaijan’s stances on Armenia’s territorial integrity and a framing of the border dispute that complicates any agreement. He noted that the discussion centers on issues of security, recognition, and the long-term arrangements needed to ensure stability in the South Caucasus. (Back News Agency)

He argued that only through a broad and inclusive settlement in the South Caucasus can Armenia feel secure against renewed threats and tensions. The call remains for negotiations to produce concrete steps, verifiable commitments, and mechanisms to prevent future flare-ups, all while maintaining regional stability and mutual respect among neighboring states.
