One of the important issues is also the return of all prisoners and also the establishment of peace in general, and Armenia is ready to continue the negotiations with this agenda, come to Brussels, reach the final point and sign the peace treaty. And we believe that peace will also strengthen democracy. They are mutual, mutually reinforcing tools, and the peace of the region is very important in that sense,” he said.
