YEREVAN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Armenia has proposed a new peace treaty to Azerbaijan, building on the points agreed upon in their ongoing negotiations, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Saturday.

Azerbaijan and Armenia have engaged in war over the Nagorno-Karabakh territorial dispute. Although a ceasefire was reached in 1994, peace negotiations have continued with sporadic clashes persisting since then.

During a press conference, Pashinyan said that the proposed treaty comprises 17 articles, of which 13, including the preamble, have been fully agreed upon.

Pashinyan also proposed a direct meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev near the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, where delimitation commissions have been operating, to further advance bilateral negotiations. Enditem
