Armenia and Azerbaijan have been able to agree on the basic principles for a peace treaty but are still \u201cspeaking different diplomatic languages\u201d, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Saturday, according to Russia\u2019s TASS news agency. The two countries have been at odds for decades, most notably over the breakaway Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Baku\u2019s forces recaptured in September, prompting a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians from it. But Pashinyan said there had been some progress in talks over a peace treaty even though he was cited as saying that the two countries still often struggled to agree on some things. \u201cWe have good and bad news about the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process,\u201d TASS quoted Pashinyan as saying in Yerevan. \u201cIt is good that the basic principles of peace with Azerbaijan have been agreed. \u201cThis happened throu\u00adgh the mediation of the head of the European Council Charles Michel as a result of my meetings with Azerbaijan\u2019s president in Brussels,\u201d Pashinyan said. \u201cThe most important bad news is that we still speak different diplomatic languages and very often do not understand each other,\u201d Pashinyan said. Pashinyan said Armenia had also proposed swapping all Armenian prisoners for all Azerbaijani prisoners, TASS reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
