Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the draft peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been fully agreed upon and is ready for signing.

“I’m ready to put my signature under the agreed draft,” Pashinyan wrote on Facebook, confirming Armenia’s readiness to finalize the long-awaited treaty.

The announcement comes amid Azerbaijani allegations of Armenian forces firing at Azerbaijani positions along the eastern and southeastern sectors of the border. The Armenian Ministry of Defense repeatedly denied these claims, calling them disinformation. 

The situation sparked concerns over a potential escalation or an Azerbaijani attempt to stall or boycott the peace process.

Some opposition figures think that Azerbaijan’s escalating disinformation campaign is not random. They suggest that Baku is manufacturing a pretext for launching a military offensive against Armenia's Syunik Province, aiming to forcefully establish the so-called Zangezur Corridor.

Meanwhile, political analyst Suren Sargsyan suggested that the United States closely monitors the situation, understanding that a new Azerbaijani offensive could disrupt Washington's strategic plans. He pointed to the recent visit of Steve Witkoff, a senior adviser to former US President Donald Trump, to Baku, as well as a statement by US Congressman Mike Waltz calling for the release of Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan.

Sargsyan suggested that Turkey deliberately fuels tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan to position itself as a key player in global negotiations.

“Preventing reckless actions by Azerbaijan (and Turkey) is crucial to avoiding new tensions in the South Caucasus,” Sargsyan stated. He also noted that several key figures in Trump’s inner circle have ties to the Armenian community and understand Armenia’s geopolitical significance.

He concluded that Trump seeks cooperation with Russia rather than opening new fronts of conflict, which could impact US engagement in the region.
