Pashinyan reaffirms commitment to normalization with Azerbaijan

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reaffirmed Armenia’s commitment to the normalization of relations with Azerbaijan ahead of his trilateral talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Brussels on Friday.

“We remain committed to the normalization of relations with Azerbaijan based on mutual recognition of each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991,” he said.

“Armenia is also fully committed to the delimitation of borders based on the Alma-Ata Declaration and unblocking all regional communications based on full respect for the countries’ sovereignty and jurisdiction and the principles of equality and reciprocity,” Pashinyan noted, highlighting his government’s Crossroads of Peace project.
