JEREVAN, August 9. /TASS/. Yerevan and Baku have established peace by signing relevant documents in Washington, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at an online news conference.
"What happened today is a historic event. I have been saying for several months that there will be no war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but there will be peace. Today we can say that peace has been established based on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our countries," he noted.
Pashinyan added that the unblocking of regional transport links will attract billions of investments into the Armenian economy and called on the country's citizens "to unite around a peaceful agenda". He added that the border demarcation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan will continue.
Armenian Prime Minister and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a memorandum on unblocking transport links in Washington on Friday in the presence of US President Donald Trump.
