“The proposal to hold negotiations between Baku and Yerevan in Astana is acceptable to Azerbaijan,” the Azerbaijani presidency said in a statement released at the end of a telephone conversation between Aliyev and Kazakhstan’s President Kasim-Yomart Tokayev.
During the May meeting, the Azerbaijani and Armenian ministers noted the differences that the parties still have in reaching a peace treaty, but agreed to continue negotiations on outstanding issues.
Recently, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that he had proposed to Azerbaijan to sign the points that have already been agreed upon in the peace treaty between the two countries and to continue negotiations on those that have not been agreed upon. According to Azerbaijan, the text of the peace treaty has been agreed upon by the parties between 80 and 90 percent.
