There is no reason to reject signing a peace treaty due to concerns  about the Constitution - Pashinyan

ArmInfo. There is no direct or indirect mention of Nagorno- Karabakh in any article of the RA Constitution, as stated by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in an interview with the state news agency <Armenpress>, mentioning that the Constitution of Azerbaijan contains territorial demands on Armenia.

The day before, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev gave an interview  to the Russian VGTRK TV channel and the RIA Novosti agency. During  the interview, Aliyev, in particular, stated that one of the  uncoordinated articles of the peace treaty involves the agreement for  both parties to refrain from international lawsuits against each  other. The other article concerns the non-deployment of  representatives of other countries along the border. At the same  time, Baku believes that in order to conclude a peace treaty, Armenia  must amend its constitution, <because it contains a reference to the  declaration of independence, that asserts territorial claims against  Azerbaijan, declaring the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region  as part of Armenia. Therefore, amending the constitution is not our  whim, but an objective requirement>, Aliyev said.

Nikol Pashinyan once again noted that the allegations of Constitution  of the Republic of Armenia containing territorial claims against  Azerbaijan stem from the preamble of our Constitution referencing   the Declaration of Independence, which again mentions  Nagorno-Karabakh.  Pashinyan noted that Yerevan, in turn, is  concerned that the Constitution of Azerbaijan contains territorial  claims against Armenia.  He also mentioned that another provision of  the agreed part of the peace treaty states that the parties recognize  each other's territorial integrity, do not have territorial claims  against each other and refrain from making such claims in the future.   According to the head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of  Armenia, there is no reason to reject signing a peace treaty due to  concerns about the Constitution.
