Armenia aims to sign peace deal with Azerbaijan before COP29

A peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be inked before Baku hosts the UN’s COP29 climate conference next month, according to the Armenian president, reported from the Financial Times.

Armenia’s president, Vahagn Khachaturyan, told the Financial Times that while there were outstanding issues that still needed to be agreed, "we are approaching the end” of the discussions, adding that deal could be signed before the UN climate conference in November.

"It would be good to sign it by COP29,” he said. "But let’s not run ahead of time.”

Speaking on the sidelines of the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, where world leaders discussed climate and development issues, Khachaturyan said Armenia needed to make peace with its neighbors.

"It has not been a good result to live with dreams. We need to be pragmatic and realistic. We need to live in peace . . . not only with Azerbaijan but all neighbors.”

Last month, Azerbaijan called for a "COP truce”, asking countries to "to transcend political challenges, stand in unity and commit to the truce during the month of COP29.”
