YEREVAN, July 3. /ARKA/. Certain unnatural obstacles are being created every now and then to slow down the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on Wednesday./pp

I have repeatedly stated that if we work intensively, we can complete this process and sign [the peace treaty] with Azerbaijan within a month. However, we see that every now and then certain very unnatural obstacles are being created to slow down this process, Mirzoyan noted during a briefing with his Georgian counterpart, Ilia Darchiashvili./pp

Mirzoyan expressed confidence that now there is a genuine historical opportunity to establish lasting peace in the region. He reiterated Armenia's commitment to fully unblock infrastructure and communications with Azerbaijan to promote development and ensure regional stability./pp

This will economically benefit not only Armenia but also [other] countries of the region, and we believe it will bring peace to [the South Caucasus], Mirzoyan stated./p br br
