Armenia has been postponing the submission of an adjusted fifth version of the peace agreement to Azerbaijan for more than two months, Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration said in a post on X, XQ informs.

"On September 11, 2023 Azerbaijan delivered the 5th revised version of peace agreement with relevant explanatory notes to the Armenian side through bilateral channels in anticipation that the response of Armenia will be submitted soon. Despite the public statements about its readiness to sign a peace treaty by the end of this year, the Armenian side delays for more than two months to present its version of the document. The Azerbaijani side has repeatedly stated that now it is a historic opportunity, and there are no obstacles to signing a peace treaty, especially after restoration of Azerbaijan's sovereignty. To what extent is Armenia ready for that is a subject of serious questions now. The text of peace agreement is not by essence nuclear physics. In accordance with the basic principles of international law suggested by Azerbaijan, the text of peace agreement could be concluded sooner through intensive bilateral negotiations. The ball in the court of Armenia!" Hikmat Hajiyev said in the post.
