28.09.2025. Sputnik Armenia reports:<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan\u2019s address at the UN General Assembly has confirmed that the peace process has reached a deadlock, and the so-called \u201cWashington agreements\u201d have effectively collapsed. This conclusion has been drawn by opposition politicians analyzing the Armenian leader\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the ARF Supreme Body and member of the Armenia Alliance, emphasized that Pashinyan deliberately avoided direct language while speaking on such a prominent international platform. In particular, Saghatelyan noted that Pashinyan refrained from using the term \u201cprisoners of war,\u201d opting instead for the more ambiguous phrase, \u201cpersons deprived of their liberty as a result of the long-standing conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne gets the impression that the prime minister was essentially forbidden from calling things by their proper names, from acknowledging the obvious fact \u2013 that Azerbaijan continues to hold Armenian prisoners of war,\u201d Saghatelyan wrote on social media. \u201cThis kind of rhetoric plays into Baku\u2019s hands, downplaying the urgency of the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saghatelyan also criticized another point in Pashinyan\u2019s speech, specifically his comment regarding Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev\u2019s rhetoric about the so-called \u201cZangezur Corridor.\u201d Pashinyan stated that in Armenia, this is perceived as a territorial claim and is viewed through the lens of conflict-driven narrative.<\/p>\n

According to Saghatelyan, this amounts to Pashinyan indirectly acknowledging that Azerbaijan has no intention of honoring previous agreements and continues to disregard them openly.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Armenian Prime Minister effectively admitted that his own peace agenda, based on the agreements reached in Washington, lacks practical viability. This marks the second such admission in recent months. Previously, Pashinyan was compelled to acknowledge a similar reality at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit.<\/p>\n

While the Armenian Prime Minister spoke of \u201cestablished peace,\u201d Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev - addressing the UN General Assembly earlier - accused Yerevan of \u201caggression\u201d and \u201coccupation,\u201d labeled Armenian leaders as \u201cwar criminals,\u201d and emphasized that all key provisions in the agreements with Armenia had been dictated by Baku.<\/p>\n

Eduard Sharmazanov, former Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament and representative of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), also believes that Pashinyan\u2019s speech clearly reflected the failure of his peace agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis words resembled the confession of a deceived teenager, begging for help,\u201d Sharmazanov wrote.<\/p>\n

The opposition politician highlighted multiple contradictions in the Prime Minister\u2019s address.<\/p>\n

Notably, he pointed out that Pashinyan made no mention of Azerbaijan\u2019s occupation of 240 square kilometers of Armenia\u2019s sovereign territory, nor did he address the urgent need for the release of Armenians being held illegally in Baku\u2019s prisons.<\/p>\n

Sharmazanov also drew attention to a paradox in Pashinyan\u2019s own words. While claiming that \u201cpeace is established,\u201d the Prime Minister immediately added: \u201cpeace brings with it questions, new questions, more questions, questions continuously.\u201d\n\u201cA question arises,\u201d Sharmazanov noted. \u201cWhat kind of \u2018peace\u2019 is this, if it only generates more and more problems?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharmazanov also noted that Pashinyan effectively acknowledged Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev\u2019s continued use of the term \u201cZangezur Corridor\u201d \u2014 a phrase which, as Pashinyan himself stated, \u201cis perceived in Armenia as a territorial claim against a sovereign country and is associated with conflict rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Aliyev\u2019s rhetoric is still associated with conflict, then the question arises: what kind of peace are they talking about?\u201d Sharmazanov wrote.<\/p>\n

He also expressed surprise at the Prime Minister\u2019s remark that peace brings him \u201cenough joy.\u201d\n\u201cWhat exactly makes you so happy, Nikol?\u201d Sharmazanov asked. \u201cThe surrender and loss of Artsakh? The thousands who were killed? Armenian prisoners of war still in Baku? Or the occupation of Armenian territory?\u201d<\/p>\n

For context, the leaders of Armenia, the United States, and Azerbaijan previously signed a joint declaration concerning the peaceful settlement of the conflict. According to the document, Armenia agreed to grant the United States exclusive rights for the long-term (99 years) development of Route 741 - intended to operate under Armenian legislation - through which Azerbaijan plans to establish overland connectivity with Nakhijevan. The U.S. side is expected to sublease the route to a consortium tasked with infrastructure development and management.\nAdditionally, the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint statement announcing the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group and all its associated structures. They also initialed and subsequently published the draft text of a future peace agreement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
