Mirzoyan reiterates Yerevan`s readiness to meet with Baku to conclude  peace treaty

ArmInfo.  Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan reiterated Yerevan's readiness to hold a meeting with the Azerbaijani side to conclude a peace treaty. The Armenian minister expressed his stance at a joint press conference with French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot.

In response to the question of what the Yerevan-Baku negotiations  entail, especially in light of new conditions being proposed by the  Azerbaijani side, and whether a new meeting is possible, the minister  emphasized that he  had previously addressed the issue. According to  him, the Azerbaijani side is putting forward several conditions, some  of which are currently under discussion.  He specifically highlighted  the Azerbaijani's side's proposal to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group,  and to make amendments to the Constitution of Armenia as  unacceptable. Mirzoyan reiterated the previously voiced arguments  regarding Baku's demands, and stated the significance of holding  meetings to address the disagreements between the parties.

"If Azerbaijan's concerns regarding the RA Constitution are sincere,   the most direct way to dispel them is to conclude a peace treaty.  After signing it, the ratification process and consideration in the  Constitutional Court are necessary. Only the Constitutional Court can  interpret the Constitution. If it confirms the document's compliance  with the Constitution, it means that the issue is closed. I can  provide other arguments, but time is limited. If they are insincere,  then: In any case, discussions are necessary, we must present our  arguments and listen to others', look for a solution," the head of  the Armenian Foreign Ministry noted.  He stated Yerevan's readiness  to hold a meeting with Baku at the level of the heads of the Foreign  Ministries or the leaders of the two countries to discuss the venue  and time of signing the peace treaty.
