In Tbilisi, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov confirmed that there have been significant advancements in the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He stated that the number of remaining issues has been greatly reduced. However, Bayramov emphasized that territorial claims against Azerbaijan are still present in Armenia’s Constitution, which is seen as a major obstacle to finalizing the peace process.
Armenia recently received the 10th package of peace treaty proposals from Azerbaijan, and Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan noted that Yerevan is currently reviewing them. Despite Armenia’s readiness to sign a peace treaty within a year, Azerbaijan has raised new concerns. Baku is demanding changes to Armenia’s Constitution before signing the treaty, citing territorial claims against neighboring countries, including Azerbaijan, in Armenia’s legal documents. The Declaration of Independence mentioned in Armenia’s main law, which references the unification of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, is specifically problematic for Azerbaijan. This issue continues to be a point of contention in the ongoing peace negotiations.
