Constitutional amendment: Baku voiced main condition for signing peace treaty

ArmInfo. The main condition for  signing the peace treaty text is amendments to the Constitution of  the Republic of Armenia. This is noted in a statement by the Ministry  of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan on the completion of negotiations on  a peace agreement with Armenia.  However, Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan had previously assured journalists that there were no  discussions with Baku regarding amending the Constitution of the  Republic of Armenia, as <this is an internal matter for Armenia>.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has issued a statement  on the completion of peace agreement negotiations  with Armenia. It  reads as follows:

<We note with satisfaction that the negotiations on the text of the  draft Agreement on  Peace and  the Establishment of Interstate  Relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia have been concluded.  We  also reiterate the long-lasting and principled position of Azerbaijan  that the amendment to Armenia's constitution to eliminate the claims  against the  sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is a  prerequisite to allow the signing of the negotiated text.  Furthermore, we emphasize the necessity to formally abolish obsolete  and dysfunctional OSCE Minsk Group and related structures. We are  ready to continue the  bilateral dialogue on these and other issues  related to the normalization process between the two countries," the  statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry says.>
