Aykhan Hajizada, Spokesperson for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, has responded to the claims made by the Armenian Prime Minister during an interview with Public Television, Report informs, citing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.All of this further proves that amending Armenia’s Constitution, which poses a direct threat to Azerbaijan’s national security, is a fundamental condition for peace, and demanding this is Azerbaijan’s legitimate right,” Hajizada stated.

EDnews noted that on May 15, during an interview in Albania with Azerbaijan Public Television, the Armenian Prime Minister once again attempted to mislead the international community regarding the territorial claims in the Armenian Constitution and the dissolution of the Minsk Group.

The Prime Minister’s attempt to substantiate his claims by referencing the constitutional provision that international treaties, which Armenia has supported and ratified, have supremacy over domestic laws is entirely baseless. To disprove this, it is sufficient to examine Article 5 of the Armenian Constitution.

In addition, while the draft peace agreement discussed since October 2022 included the provision supporting territorial integrity, no one has forgotten how, in parallel, the Armenian leadership continued to support the puppet regime and legitimize it until the anti-terror measures of September 2023.

Moreover, it would be better for the Armenian side to explain why, for nearly 35 years, it has not adhered to the borders of 1991 and the agreements based on the Almaty Declaration regarding territorial integrity, and why it has refused to accept the borders reflected in Soviet maps. 

The logic of the Armenian Prime Minister in suggesting that these issues can be ignored indicates that Armenia is not interested in sustainable peace and is merely trying to maintain this situation as a fallback option for future aggression against Azerbaijan. Additionally, Armenia’s attempts to oppose the official dissolution of the Minsk Group, a remnant of the past conflict, and its efforts to tie the process to a peace agreement demonstrate the existence of a hidden agenda against Azerbaijan.
