Mirzoyan: Azerbaijan Does Not Demand Armenian Constitution Change

Armenia's Foreign Minister and Minister of Foreign Trade, Ararat Mirzoyan, said that Azerbaijan does not demand that Armenia change its Constitution, but presents it as a precondition for signing a peace agreement. Modern.az reports that Mirzoyan made the remarks at a session of the parliament's Committee on Foreign Relations.

According to Mirzoyan, Azerbaijan has not demanded that Armenia amend its Constitution. He said Azerbaijan simply makes clear that it has shown its will, initialled the document and undertaken an obligation, but will not sign it until Armenia changes its fundamental law.

The minister said the concepts of "demand" and "precondition" must be distinguished from each other. The report also recalls that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in September that the question of changing Armenia's Constitution had not been discussed with Azerbaijan.
