An expert working group will be formed in the Armenian Foreign Ministry to deal with the preparation of a peace treaty with Azerbaijan until early April, the Armenian media reported.
Earlier, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has made public the five basic principles for normalizing relations with Armenia, on the basis of which Baku and Yerevan, after holding intensive, substantive and result-oriented negotiations, can sign a bilateral peace agreement.
For the normalization of relations, Azerbaijan proposes the following principles: mutual recognition of each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity, international border inviolability, and political independence; mutual confirmation of the absence of territorial claims by states against one another, as well as a legal obligation to refrain from making such claims in the future; refrain from threatening each other's security in interstate relations, from using threats and force against political independence and territorial integrity, from acting in ways that are inconsistent with the goals of the UN Charter; delimitation and demarcation of state borders, as well as the establishment of diplomatic relations; the establishment of other relevant communications and cooperation in other areas of mutual interest, as well as the opening of transport and communications.
