  Yerevan says Baku has sent new peace deal proposals September 14, 2023 - 12:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan has sent new proposals to Armenia on the normalization of relations between the two countries, but big gaps remain between the sides, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on Wednesday, September 13. Armenia had submitted its own proposal for a withdrawal from border areas of troops from both sides. Mirzoyan said the new Azerbaijani proposals were received on Tuesday, in response to a draft peace outline that Armenia had previously submitted. "There is a process, there is a discussion... Unfortunately I am obliged to state that there are important questions on which the two sides' positions are still quite far from each other," Mirzoyan said. Armenia's Foreign Ministry, in a statement reported by local media, later issued the proposal for a "reciprocal withdrawal of troops” on the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
