I had a short conversation with my Azerbaijani counterpart, Sahiba Gafarova, within the framework of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly meeting in Saint Petersburg. Speaker Alen Simonyan of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia told this to reporters at the NA on Tuesday.

“We have a situation when there is an agreed document. And when there is no point in talking about any deadlock, the Azerbaijani side is also interested in the process of signing a peace agreement being completed as soon as possible,” Simonyan said.

According to him, the two parties are working in this direction. The Armenian NA speaker noted that for several hours the speakers of the Armenian and Azerbaijani parliaments, in fact, sat next to each other. However, they agreed not to publicize the content of that conversation.
