Pashinyan`s associate criticizes Azerbaijan`s current behavior as  unconstructive and hails the completion of peace treaty negotiations  as a diplomatic success for Yerevan

ArmInfo. The text of the peace treaty has already been agreed upon, marking a significant diplomatic achievement for Armenia. Chairman of the Commission on European  Integration Arman Yeghoyan made this statement in a conversation with  journalists at the Armenian parliament building on March 28, while  addressing Azerbaijan's new preconditions for Armenia to sign the  peace treaty.

Yeghoyan admitted that currently, Azerbaijan's approach is not  constructive. However, he emphasized that this does not diminish  Armenia's efforts to sign a peace treaty. When discussing  Azerbaijan's stance, the Chairman of the Commission stressed the  importance of not only  monitoring Baku's response to the  peace  treaty signing process, but also paying attention to global  reactions. "It is not surprise that Azerbaijan's responses are not  constructive. However, how the global players perceive this situation  and the stance they take will ultimately determine the success of the  negotiation process," the representative of the ruling party  emphasized.

As Eghoyan assured, if  the situation is considered from this  perspective, Armenia is on the right track. He also pointed out that  many countries have expressed support for the completion of  negotiations on the peace treaty. In particular, the legislator  mentioned the statement of the US National Security Advisor, who has  highlighted the importance of resolving the issue of Armenian  prisoners in his post on Twitter (X).

Regarding Azerbaijan's demands to amend the Constitution of Armenia  and dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group, Eghoyan was insincere, noting that  the Armenian side had raised the issue even before these demands were  made by Baku. Touching upon the demands to amend the Constitution of  Armenia, Eghoyan assured that these issues cannot be considered only  in the context of Azerbaijan's demands. "We must understand how to  find a solution to this issue that aligns with our interests,  regardless of Azerbaijan's stance. Our approach is to address issues  based on how they benefit us. Let me remind you that Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan first brought up the issue of constitution  in June 2020, prior to the 44-day war, emphasizing the need to change  it," he concluded.
