Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan says he is making the signing and ratification of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan his most important near-term task, with a timeline that runs through 2031. He says he has set this objective and discusses it at a cabinet meeting, noting it follows an earlier announcement.

Outlets reporting on the remarks broadly frame the move as an attempt to set a clear schedule for progress on the peace process. While the coverage centers on the 2031 deadline for formalizing the treaty, at least one outlet also stresses that Pashinyan continues to treat other national priorities as ongoing. Across the reports, the emphasis is on the prime minister’s stated plan and time horizon rather than on new treaty text, specific negotiating steps, or immediate outcomes.
