"After Trump's victory, Armenia agreed to add two points to the peace treaty" - Aliyev

After US President Donald Trump’s election victory, Armenia agreed to add two more points to the peace agreement. This was announced by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

“We prepared the text of the peace agreement and sent it to Armenia. They had different interpretations. There has been no progress for two years. The main reason was that the Armenian side wanted to include the Nagorno-Karabakh issue in the text of the peace agreement. We told them that Nagorno-Karabakh exists in your imagination, in reality it does not exist. It is part of Azerbaijan, and the issue related to our internal policy cannot be included in the text of the peace agreement,” Aliyev said.

According to him, only after the liberation of the territories in September 2023 did Armenia stop insisting on this, since the topic was already closed.

“The real negotiations began in January 2024. Work was being carried out on the text of the draft we prepared, and it was agreed upon. Armenia did not want to add two points. "However, when President Donald Trump won the election, they added those two points: amending the Armenian constitution and dissolving the Minsk Group. Once these two issues are resolved, a peace treaty can be signed," Aliyev added.
