"The basic peace principles have been agreed with Azerbaijan. This happened as a result of my meetings in Brussels with Azerbaijani President [Ilham Aliyev] mediated by European Council President Charles Michel," Pashinyan said, adding that the agreements were recorded in Michel's statements on the results of the trilateral meetings in May and July. At the same time, the Armenian prime minister also said that Yerevan and Baku were speaking different "diplomatic" languages and "often faced misunderstanding" because of a protracted conflict, thousands of victims and an atmosphere of "decades-long hatred." Additionally, Pashinyan warned of a possible escalation threat between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as the latter promoted the Western Azerbaijan political concept used by Baku to refer to the territory of Armenia. Yerevan and Baku began discussing a future peace deal in 2022 with the mediation of Russia, the European Union and the United States. Both Pashinyan and Aliyev have said that a peace treaty could be signed by the end of this year. In September 2023, Azerbaijan took control over Nagorno-Karabakh in a lightning offensive, prompting almost all local residents to flee to Armenia. Over 100,000 people of Nagorno-Karabakh's estimated 120,000 Armenian population left the region by the end of September. The Nagorno-Karabakh authorities declared that the unrecognized state would cease to exist on January 1, 2024.

Pashinyan Says Armenia, Azerbaijan Agree on Basic Peace Treaty Principles
YEREVAN (Sputnik) - Armenia has negotiated the basic principles of a future peace agreement with Azerbaijan, but Baku has not yet confirmed its commitment to the three principles proposed by Yerevan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Saturday.
"The basic peace principles have been agreed with Azerbaijan. This happened as a result of my meetings in Brussels with Azerbaijani President [Ilham Aliyev] mediated by European Council President Charles Michel," Pashinyan said, adding that the agreements were recorded in Michel's statements on the results of the trilateral meetings in May and July.
At the same time, the Armenian prime minister also said that Yerevan and Baku were speaking different "diplomatic" languages and "often faced misunderstanding" because of a protracted conflict, thousands of victims and an atmosphere of "decades-long hatred."
Additionally, Pashinyan warned of a possible escalation threat between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as the latter promoted the Western Azerbaijan political concept used by Baku to refer to the territory of Armenia.
"For us, this seems to be a preparation for a new war, a new aggression against Armenia and is one of the main obstacles to the peace process," the Armenian prime minister told the parliamentary assembly meeting of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe in Yerevan.
Yerevan and Baku began discussing a future peace deal in 2022 with the mediation of Russia, the European Union and the United States. Both Pashinyan and Aliyev have said that a peace treaty could be signed by the end of this year.
