Aram Karapetyan, Chairman of the opposition party New Times, stated that Armenia and Azerbaijan have already arranged to sign a framework agreement.

The politician said he arrived at the conclusion after he attentively listened to RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s speech at the congress of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) on November 28. According to Karapetyan, the five regions will be returned to Azerbaijan first. After the sixth region has been returned, the issue of referendum will be settled.

“I have information that the sides arranged to sign a framework agreement. However, the sides did not arrange for all to be in one package, that is, the withdrawal of our troops simultaneously with talks about referendum,” Karapetyan said.
