We have said that there are 13 articles that are fully officially agreed upon in the draft peace treaty. The preface and the title have also been fully agreed upon, three more articles have been partially agreed. And there is another article that is not agreed upon at all. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this during the question-and-answer session with the government at the National Assembly of Armenia Wednesday. "During the second, third editions, the draft [of the peace treaty with Azerbaijan] had 18 articles; that is, some articles have been removed. For example, Azerbaijan itself announced the removal of the [regional] communications’ article. Seventeen articles have left. We [i.e. Armenia] say: ‘whatever is agreed upon, let's sign it as a peace treaty.’ They reflect on the key content, the fundamental principles of the relationship between the two states. We say: ‘let's sign it and continue the discussion on other issues.’ Now the Azerbaijani side says: ‘no, there are important issues that need to be expressed.’ Our question is as follows: and when we express these issues, will there not be important issues anymore? Are we going to finish or not the list of important issues with this? If the assumption will be that let’s solve all the important issues then sign [the peace treaty], it means that we will never sign because if we come to an agreement on four more important issues, it’s all the same; there will still be four more important issues that need to be agreed upon. If those four are agreed upon also, there will always be four more issues," said Pashinyan, adding that the Armenian side proposes a peace treaty with 16 articles. Touching upon the Almaty Declaration of 1991, the Armenian PM noted that there is no need to interpret the statements from Azerbaijan, but to make a reference to the officially made statements. "The border delimitation commissions of the two countries have issued a statement that the Almaty Declaration becomes the basic principle of the border delimitation process and the parties will be guided by it," Nikol Pashinyan noted.
