“Armenia’s significant delay in submitting proposals on the text of the document had a negative impact on the process, but despite this, the parties are close to reaching a final agreement on the text of the document,” says a statement distributed by the Azerbaijan State News Agency ( AZERTAC ). According to him, it was Baku that initiated the principles underlying the peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia. He noted that negotiations towards finalizing the text of the treaty will continue after the end of the United Nations Climate Conference (COP-29). As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 21, Aliyev stated that the conclusion of a peace treaty between the two republics is impossible until the Armenian authorities amend the country's constitution. According to him, the current constitution of Armenia poses a territorial threat to Azerbaijan, since the document provides for a reference to the 1990 declaration of independence, according to which Nagorno-Karabakh is part of the country. This clause prevents the conclusion of a peace agreement, the Azerbaijani president noted. In August, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that Moscow is ready to continue assisting in the development of an Armenian-Azerbaijani peace treaty and advancing the process of border delimitation and demarcation. The conversation between the Russian head of state and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also touched on the normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan. | |
