Armenia interested in signing peace agreement with Azerbaijan - Pashinyan

YEREVAN. Dec 24 (Interfax) - Armenia is interested in starting negotiations and signing a peace agreement with Azerbaijan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.

"We are interested in starting negotiations and signing a peace agreement [with Azerbaijan]. We are not refusing and will not refuse to talk about this. If we speak about unveiling a new era of peaceful development, it would be illogical to say that we do not wish to hear about a peace agreement," Pashinyan said at a press conference in a video format on Friday.

A comprehensive peace agreement is a key goal for Armenia, he said.

"We aren't rejecting discussions. What are all of these negotiations about? Among other things, about possible provisions of a peace agreement," Pashinyan said.
