MP on his initiative: There is still no response from Baku

ArmInfo.  Armenia has not received a response from its Azerbaijani colleagues regarding the proposed meeting of MPs from the two countries' parliamentary  committees on foreign affairs to discuss the current state of  relations between them. Chairman of the RA National Assembly's  Foreign Relations Committee Sargis Khandanyan told journalists on  March 27. He noted that he had personally sent an invitation to his  colleagues from Azerbaijan, but  hasn't received a response yet. The  MP expressed hope for a positive reaction from Baku. The meeting  could potentially be held in any border area.

Khandanyan emphasized that the text of the peace treaty between  Armenia and Azerbaijan has been agreed upon, and now the focus is on   determining the place and timing of the signing.  Following this, the  document will need to be reviewed by the parliaments of both  countries. Khandanyan considered Baku's demand to change the  Constitution of Armenia for the signing of the document illegitimate.  Moreover, the parliamentarian continued, the text of the peace treaty  completely resolves the issue of the territorial integrity for both  states. Khandanyan noted that Baku's new demands are aimed at  stalling the signing process.  According to him,  the discussions and  eventual signing of the treaty, could facilitate the return of  Armenian prisoners of war from Baku prisons.
