BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 19. Progress in the
normalization process between Armenia and Türkiye will also help
and give new impetus to the normalization process between Armenia
and Azerbaijan, the Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament,
Ruben Rubinyan, said at a briefing for journalists, Trend reports.
“Our position has not changed. The process of normalizing
relations between Armenia and Turkey and the process of normalizing
relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan are different processes,
but since we are countries of the same region, they can interact
with each other. We believe that progress in the process of
normalizing relations between Armenia and Türkiye will not only not
harm the process of normalizing relations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan, but, on the contrary, will give this process a new
impetus,” the Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament said.
Emphasizing that significant progress has been made in the
Armenian-Azerbaijani process, he recalled the peace declaration of
August 8 and the resumption of transit rail transport.
“Overall, I think things are moving in a positive direction.
We’re already seeing some results, and we’ll see more,” Rubinyan
added.
On August 8, 2025, in Washington, President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Armenian

During the meeting, Foreign Minister of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov and Foreign Minister of the Republic of
Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan initialed the draft “Agreement on the
