Peace agreement with Azerbaijan in Armenia`s national interests - MP

ArmInfo. The agreed peace treaty with Azerbaijan reflects the national interests of Armenia. This was written on his Facebook account by Arsen Torosyan, a member  of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia from the ruling  Civil Contract faction. 

According to him, the presented document is based on international  law and must be signed. This need, as the parliamentarian emphasized,  comes from Azerbaijan's ongoing false statements about the alleged  shelling of its positions by the Armenian armed forces. "Now that the  document has been agreed upon, Azerbaijan is resorting to information  provocations to delay the signing of this treaty, approved by the  international community, including major powers, since it did not  plan for such a scenario," Torosyan emphasized.

On March 16, the RA Ministry of Defense three times refuted the  claims of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry about the alleged shelling  of its positions located in the southeastern direction of the border.

On March 13, official Yerevan confirmed the completion of  negotiations with Baku on the draft peace treaty. Thus, in the  statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, it was said that the  Armenian Foreign Ministry through diplomatic channels brought to the  attention of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry that the Republic of  Armenia accepts Azerbaijan's proposals on two uncoordinated articles  of the draft "Agreement on the establishment of peace and interstate  relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of  Azerbaijan".

Earlier, the head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated that the  Armenian side accepted all of Baku's proposals, including those  regarding the abolition of the OSCE Minsk Group and amendments to the  country's Constitution.
