I would like to disagree with that formulation that Armenia-Azerbaijan peace is not visible on the horizon. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview with Turkish media.

"I will say that it is simply a constant attempt to bring smokescreen along the horizon so that peace is not visible. In fact, very important pillars of peace have been laid between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I have already mentioned one of the pillars.

Armenia and Azerbaijan, in fact, agreed to recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty on the basis of the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration. This is what should be visible on the horizon. Moreover, this reality has been reconfirmed in the agreed articles of the draft peace treaty, they sides have recorded that they have no territorial claims to each other and mutually undertake not to make such territorial claims in the future. This is very clearly visible on the horizon, but now you will ask, what is that smokescreen? The smokescreen is the narrative about "western Azerbaijan," because when we have reached an agreement that we recognize each other's territorial integrity, then there should be no talk of "western Azerbaijan."

The trials taking place in Baku are a smokescreen, which have one goal, at least that’s our perception, to nullify the achievements that we have had in the peace process, because we have been negotiating the peace process for four years and we have results. I have already said that we do not record it, we are constantly focused on the peace agreement, which is of course an important cornerstone, but the fact that Armenia and Azerbaijan have signed an international document and ratified it in both countries is already a fact and a reality. Moreover, we have demarcated border areas. And here is the problem: what path do we take from this point? I, if you were paying attention, said that if we are consistent in our efforts, that path, that project is already on the table, it remains only not to abandon that project. In essence, we do not need to build much new at this stage, we only need to not destroy what has been recorded. This is what we are talking about.

Yes, we also understand the sensitivities and specificities that exist in Turkey-Azerbaijan relations. It is impossible to deny this, but on the other hand, I have already said that we also have processes in Armenia-Turkey relations. And I just realized that in the first seven minutes, when I was mentioning the events in Armenia-Turkey relations, I left out things that I could have said, reaching 10, 11, 12, 15 minutes. Moreover, for two years in a row now, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia has participated in the Antalya Diplomatic Conference. After the devastating earthquake, the Minister of Foreign Affairs visited the disaster zone in Turkey, we sent humanitarian assistance, it is good that we sent humanitarian assistance, but it is bad that it happened under the circumstances and due to such tragic events," he noted.
