Last year, Yerevan and Baku started discussing the future peace treaty with the mediation of Russia, the USA and the European Union. At the end of May of this year, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that Yerevan is ready to recognize the sovereignty of Azerbaijan within the Soviet borders, that is, together with Karabakh. As the head of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has stated, Azerbaijan and Armenia can sign a peace agreement before the end of the year, if Yerevan does not change its position,” the report says.
