ArmInfo. Ambassador-at-large Edmon Marukyan posted the following message on his X account:
"In March 2022, Azerbaijan proposed five fundamental principles on
which the peace treaty with Armenia had to be based, namely: Mutual
recognition by states of sovereignty, territorial integrity,
inviolability of their international borders and political
independence of each other; Mutual confirmation of the absence of
territorial claims of states to each other and the adoption of a
legal obligation that such a claim will not be brought in the future;
Refrain from threatening each other's security in interstate
relations, use of threats and force against political independence
and territorial integrity, as well as other circumstances that do not
comply with the purposes of the UN Charter; Delimitation and
demarcation of the state border, establishment of diplomatic
relations; Opening transport and communications, building other
relevant communications and establishing cooperation in other areas
of mutual interest.
"Although the mentioned principles were addressed during the
negotiations, also publicly, Azerbaijan avoids signing the peace
treaty and continuously raises new demands during the whole process
of negotiations, thus torpedoing the peace process. Yesterday,
Azerbaijani president Aliyev stated that peace may be achieved
between Armenia and Azerbaijan only after Armenia makes amendments to
its Constitution and internal legislation, thus officially raising a
completely new precondition.
"As saying goes: "appetite comes while eating" and these endless
demands are coming to prove only one thing: Azerbaijan does not want
peace in the region or signing a peace treaty with Armenia, trailing
the whole international community around by the fingers."
