Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan reiterated that peace has been established with Azerbaijan, even though the treaty initialed at a US-brokered summit in 2025 has not yet been signed.
“We already have real peace,” Mirzoyan said at a panel discussion at the Yerevan Dialogue 2026 international forum.
“We do not have unfortunate incidents on the border with Azerbaijan, and for more than a year there have been no casualties caused by shootings at the border. Moreover, Azerbaijan has lifted restrictions on the transit of goods to Armenia through its territory. This is already a major step toward peace. We have also started bilateral trade with Azerbaijan; we are purchasing petroleum products from Azerbaijan, and we will also sell certain goods to Azerbaijani companies. This is truly proof of peace. I cannot say that all issues have been resolved. We have had a very bloody conflict; the wounds are still very fresh, and both peoples still need real reconciliation. There are unresolved issues, particularly of a humanitarian nature; there are detainees. But the path is very optimistic,” Mirzoyan said.
