On October 14, 2026, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a significant statement regarding the resolution of territorial disputes between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In his video address on Facebook, he proposed an exchange of territories, which he believes could be a step towards signing a peace agreement.
Proposal for Territorial Exchange
Pashinyan noted that to achieve stable peace, both countries should proportionally exchange enclaves and exclaves. According to him, this will allow for the establishment of a clear border between the states and put an end to mutual territorial claims.
Conditions for a Peace Agreement
The Armenian Prime Minister emphasized that Armenia should have control over an area of 29,743 square kilometers. He also stressed the importance of conducting delimitation and demarcation processes based on the Almaty Declaration, which should serve as the foundation for further conflict resolution.
Prospects for Peaceful Resolution
This initiative by Pashinyan could become an important step towards stabilizing relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It opens up new opportunities for dialogue and peaceful coexistence, but the implementation of such plans will require efforts from both sides.
