Yerevan sent Baku the remaining proposals on the peace treaty
Armenia has sent proposals to Azerbaijan on two non-agreed points of the peace agreement and is ready to sign it in the event of a positive response. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan.
 
At the same time, Pashinyan noted that Yerevan expects from Baku a clear recognition of Armenia's territorial integrity.
 
 "As for the concerns related to our weapons, we also have concerns about Azerbaijan's weapons. It is for this reason that we made a proposal to form a mechanism for mutual control over weapons and we are waiting for a response," said the head of the Armenian Cabinet of Ministers.
 
Pashinyan also responded to the accusation by the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, that Armenia is a fascist state.
 
"Counting on a counter-reaction in the spirit of "you yourself are a fascist", and the situation I described will begin to escalate. But there is another approach: we state that Armenia is perceived this way in Azerbaijan, and we try to understand why, what is the reason. On the other hand, it is obvious that a similar perception of Azerbaijan also exists in Armenia. It was these mutual ideas that led to the long-term conflict," Pashinyan shared his thoughts.

Chechnya Leads in Lowest Alcohol Sales
25 February 2026

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
