Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Thursday that peace between his country and Azerbaijan is not only possible but also “within reach,” according to Anadolu Agency.

“The key messages of my previous speeches (at the UN General Assembly) were about the deadlock in achieving peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. But today, I want to say that peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan not only is possible, but is within reach,” Pashinyan said at the assembly’s 79th session in New York.

Pashinyan said that once the peace agreement between the two countries is signed, the document will then be sent to Armenia’s Constitutional Court to check whether it is in compliance with the country’s Constitution.

“If our Constitutional Court decides that the peace agreement with Azerbaijan is in contradiction with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, even though our experts assure that it is not likely to happen, then we will face a specific situation where constitutional changes will be needed for the sake of achieving peace,” he added.
