/TASS/. A peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia may be signed in the foreseeable future, but in the end, what matters most is not when it is inked but that all issues are resolved, Russian presidential press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said on Friday.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, representatives of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia will meet “late next week in Moscow” to discuss the issues between the sides. “There is no objective to finalize everything to the end because what matters most is the final result no matter how long it takes,” he said. “That is why, no one can say exactly when the peace treaty may be signed.”
“Although, as was said yesterday (at a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Moscow – TASS), the situation has largely changed; these changed circumstances actually make the signing of a peace treaty possible in the foreseeable future,” Peskov said.

He recalled that at Thursday’s talks, the three leaders “reached agreements and instructed their deputy prime ministers to meet next week.” “It [the meeting] will be held late next week in Moscow. They will try to finalize the issues on which the sides have an understanding in principle, and will decide how to settle them, but more talks are needed on the details,” he said. “They will talk it over.”
“There is a shared point of view, the heads of state have come to an understanding about how to solve it, so, there should be no artificial obstacles at the working level,” he added.
At Thursday’s trilateral meeting in the Kremlin, the Russian president noted that the situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia “is developing towards settlement despite an abundance of difficulties and problems.” According to Putin, there is still a lot of work to do to resolve the transport-related problems but such problems are purely technical.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk said after the talks that the upcoming meeting in Moscow would focus on details concerning border crossing and border control issues.
