“Bilateral trade between Armenia and Azerbaijan is also a very important pillar of peace,” Pashinyan said.

He further stated that all legal procedures related to the border delimitation process have been completed and are now legally binding in both countries.

According to Pashinyan, the next stage should focus on implementing the TRIPP project and continuing efforts toward the signing and ratification of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“Now we must focus on the implementation of the TRIPP project, as well as continue our work toward the signing and ratification of the peace treaty,” he added.
