The European Union says conclusion of Azerbaijan and Armenia talks and agreement on the text of a possible treaty, "a decisive step."

Armenia and Azerbaijan remain far from achieving peace despite the announcement of the completion of negotiations on a draft peace treaty, claims opposition Pativ Unem faction MP Tigran Abrahamyan.

But hurdles remain. Azerbaijan also said Armenia’s constitution must “eliminate the claims against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,” as a prerequisite to allow for the signing of the peace treaty.
