ArmInfo. The demand of the President of Azerbaijan to amend the Constitution of Armenia is evidence of the incompetence, pitifulness and dependence of the RA authorities. Former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Artak Zakaryan wrote on his Facebook page.
According to him, Aliyev's statement is a clear manifestation of direct interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of Armenia, and, to some extent, blackmail, which is unacceptable from the point of view of international practice. "This statement alone is enough to stop the discussion of any issue related to changing the Constitution of our country. There is no guarantee that this interference in the sovereign decisions of Armenia will not become permanent and will not have other manifestations. During the governance of Serzh Sargsyan, Robert Kocharyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan, neither Azerbaijan nor any other country could talk to the Republic of Armenia in such an unacceptable way and on such preliminary conditions," Zakaryan emphasized.
He added that real, worthy peace in the region can be achieved by changing the composition of the RA government and the quality of power, uniting the Armenian society and the Armenian Diaspora, restoring all types of relations with the strategic ally - Russia and their comprehensive development, building practical relations with natural allies in the region. It is also necessary to make real efforts to develop the capabilities and combat effectiveness of the RA Armed Forces, to implement a clear, reasonable and consistent foreign policy. . Instead of wasting available resources, realistic and ambitious plans for the development of the real economy should be made.
