“The best opportunity has arisen for the establishment of interstate relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, that is, for the signing of a peace treaty.”
This Oku.Azin his statement to the deputy of the Milli Majlis Vugar Iskanderov saying.
According to him, the meeting of the President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia in Kazan and the issues discussed at the meeting also give reasons to say that, especially if Armenia shows political will, the peace agreement can be signed. :
“Because there are many positive points for the normalization of relations. However, there are also several issues on which there are still differences of opinion in this context. This contradiction relates specifically to the presence of territorial claims against Azerbaijan in the Armenian Constitution. Because if a state establishes an open relationship with another state, there can never be territorial and territorial claims on that state. The other issue is related to the cancellation of the Minsk Group, which is also an important issue. But in Armenia, the revanchists. And some people in power mention the name of the Minsk Group and talk about its existence as one of the reasons for the differences in relations.
“Resolution of this issue before COP29 can take place in the form of a framework agreement. But for this, Armenia would have to hold a referendum and articles containing territorial claims against Azerbaijan would have to be removed from the constitution.

Furthermore, the issue of the so-called genocide is one of the issues raised by Armenia. “Armenia should renounce all of them by presenting a legal document,” the deputy said.
According to him, Azerbaijan will sign the peace agreement not with Pashinian, but with the State of Armenia.
“This means that when Pashinyan leaves power, these issues should not be raised again during the next term of government. Therefore, this document should be based on both national legislation and international law. In this sense, recent meetings bilaterals without third parties should Continue Son Kazan the same example was revealed at the meeting and the leaders of the two countries gave tasks for the progress of the issues. The tasks of the commission headed by the deputy prime ministers were also assigned for the progress of the work. In other words, in general, Armenia must seek real peace and to do so it must take real measures, not just words.”
“Although Armenia creates the image that it intends to sign a peace treaty, it does not take real steps. Because Armenia at the same time arms itself and maintains and develops the presence of a mission composed of representatives from Europe and even Canada in its territory. This “is one of the factors that hinders the process, although Azerbaijan has taken and continues to take all important steps for the peace agreement. We expect real steps that will serve real peace and form open interstate relations from Armenia,” our interviewer said. added.
The parliamentarian also noted that it would be a positive step if Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan or Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan attended COP29:
“However, this requires political will in the Armenian political establishment. The participation of the Armenian delegation in this event can have a positive effect on overall relations.”
