The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) commented on Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov’s statement that “Azerbaijan has numerously offered Armenia to sign a peace treaty.”

In response to a query from Armenpress, Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Vahan Hunanyan commented also on Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statement on the “Zangezur corridor.”

Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov said that Azerbaijan has numerously offered Armenia to sign a peace treaty and that, despite the difficulties, the normalization of relations can be considered. How would you comment on this statement?

The Government of the Republic of Armenia adopted a strategy of opening an era of peaceful development for Armenia and the region and, naturally, it displays readiness to take steps in that direction. Regarding specifically the signing of a peace treaty: it has been announced several times on the highest level that this is one of the agenda priorities of the [Armenian] government.

In turn, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu talked about the so-called “Zangezur corridor.” What is the position of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding this statement?

This is an incomprehensible terming for us, and everyone knows this. On the other hand, the opening of regional connections is also among the priorities of the [Armenian] government, and concrete steps are being taken in this direction—including within the framework of the “Armenian Crossroads” project.
