Baku is already dictating its own agenda, whereas Nikol Pashinyan is selling Armenia’s agenda at a price below market value. Garnik Davtyan, an MP from the "Strong Armenia" faction, wrote about this.

Jeyhun Bayramov speaks of "de facto peace" from the UN podium, yet in the same speech, he advances demands and formulations crucial to Azerbaijan: "unimpeded" connectivity across Armenian territory—specifically regarding the so-called "Zangezur Corridor"—and the narrative of an Azerbaijani "right of return."


This should serve as a signal to Armenia that Nikol and Aliyev are "negotiating" against Armenia.


Armenia cannot simply react to Baku’s formulations; it must place its own agenda on the negotiating table—an agenda that, regrettably, has been lost and reduced to a bargaining chip. Armenia’s agenda must be clear: sovereignty without exceptions, territorial integrity without ambiguities,


inviolability of borders without reservations, reciprocity at the core of every agreement,


and security—not through declarations, but through real capabilities.


If Baku presents its vision for the region's future on international platforms, then the Armenian government is obliged to clearly state—on those same platforms—where Armenia’s red lines lie.


Peace cannot mean that one side formulates demands while the other merely implements them.


A strong Armenia must not be an interpreter of Baku’s agenda, but the author of its own agenda," he wrote.
