In response to Ilham Aliyev's call for Armenia to issue an official statement regarding the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group, Armenian officials have articulated their positions. The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament stated that the Minsk Group would become obsolete after the signing of a peace agreement. Echoing this sentiment, Armenian priest Bagrat Galstanyan emphasized the crucial role of the OSCE as a guarantor in peace negotiations.

Political commentator Alimusa Ibrahimov shared insights with Ednews, explaining Armenia's skepticism towards Azerbaijan's proposal. "Armenia, like Azerbaijan, acknowledges the diminished role of the OSCE Minsk Group," Ibrahimov said. "The Armenian side is wary because the suggestion originated from Azerbaijan."

Ibrahimov also noted the potential fallout from the OSCE Minsk Group's dissolution. "This move could create friction between Armenia and its Western allies. Past declarations about Karabakh being part of Azerbaijan have already sparked opposition against Armenian leadership. Russian leaders frequently remind Pashinyan of his previous statements," he added. The Armenian leadership's linkage of the OSCE Minsk Group's dissolution to the peace agreement reflects a strategic push to finalize the agreement swiftly, potentially influenced by foreign patrons.

Ultimately, despite Armenia's and Azerbaijan's divergent views on the peace treaty, Azerbaijan remains steadfast. "Azerbaijan will not submit to any pressure or influence and will independently determine its course of action," Ibrahimov concluded.
