Armenian MP Hayk Mamijanyan has accused Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of negotiating not to defend Armenian interests against Azerbaijan but rather to enforce Azerbaijani interests within Armenia. He expressed this view in a Facebook post.

*"Instead of negotiating with Azerbaijan over Armenian interests, Pashinyan is negotiating with Armenia to advance Azerbaijani interests.

And when 'negotiating' with Armenian citizens, he employs all means—deception, threats, manipulation…,"* Mamijanyan wrote.

On March 13, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry announced it had accepted Azerbaijan’s proposals on two previously unresolved articles, signaling that the peace treaty is ready for signing. Armenia also expressed readiness to begin consultations on the timing and location of the signing. However, Baku set new preconditions, stating it was too early to discuss dates for a meeting.

The draft peace agreement consists of 17 points, 15 of which had already been agreed upon. The two disputed clauses involved renouncing international claims against each other and prohibiting the deployment of foreign representatives on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.
