No point on amendments to Armenia`s Constitution in  Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement - Alen Simonyan 

No point on amendments to Armenia`s Constitution in  Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement - Alen Simonyan 

ArmInfo. The text of the draft peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan does not contain a clause on amending the Constitution of Armenia; such a discussion is not underway. This was stated by the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan on January 21 in a conversation with journalists in  parliament, touching upon the approval by the Armenian Cabinet of  Ministers of the draft law <On launching the process of joining the  European Union>.

<There is no clause on the Constitution in the peace treaty. And  there is no such discussion. Discussions will continue on the  remaining two points mentioned by Bayramov (Azerbaijani Foreign  Minister - ed.). I think that we should record that it is very  positive that the other side also notes that there are two points  left that need to be discussed>, - the Speaker of the RA National  Assembly emphasized, touching upon the next statement by Azerbaijani  Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on amending the Constitution of  Armenia

According to him, many predicted a new war after November 9, 2020,  but the government was able to somehow cope and reach an agreement on  more than a dozen points. <This, in my opinion, is a very big victory  for both sides. We have the first legal document signed between the  two states (the regulation on the commissions on the delimitation  issue - ed.), which has no precedent in history. We have a delimited  border, we have an agreement, logic for continuing the process of  this border. Yes, I think that the process is going positively. And I  welcome the statement that we have two more points that we still need  to discuss>, - he said.

Touching on Baku's demand to abandon claims in international courts,  Simonyan said that they are discussing this in order to understand  whether it is beneficial for the Republic of Armenia to move forward  within the framework of this logic.

At the same time, Alen Simonyan does not currently see the  possibility of including a clause on the return of prisoners in the  text of the peace treaty. <This is a separate topic that we are  constantly working on. We had more than 150 prisoners, now we have 23  confirmed prisoners, of which 11 are the military-political  leadership of Karabakh>, - the speaker of the National Assembly said.

On December 12, 2024, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov  told journalists that the draft peace treaty between Azerbaijan and  Armenia includes 17 points, 15 of which have already been agreed  upon. He once again pointed to the Constitution of Armenia, which,  according to Baku, contains territorial claims against Azerbaijan.  <The recent decision of the Constitutional Court of Armenia has  further complicated the matter. Because it is in the preamble of the  Constitution of Armenia that a reference is made to a document that  contains territorial claims against Azerbaijan>, - noted Jeyhun  Bayramov.
