Only obstacle to peace agreement could be Armenia’s Constitution, Azerbaijani envoy says in Yerevan

Both Armenia and Azerbaijan fully recognize each other’s territorial integrity, Azerbaijani envoy Murad Muradov told reporters on Monday during the 108th Rose-Roth NATO Parliamentary Assembly seminar in Yerevan.

“We are confident that the peoples are against conflict and are ready to begin the process of normalizing relations,” Muradov said.

According to Muradov, the only potential obstacle to the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be Armenia’s Constitution, which “contains territorial claims.” He added that Azerbaijan’s Constitution “does not contain such claims.”

When asked whether Baku plans, as a gesture of peace, to return the top military-political leadership of Artsakh and other prisoners held in Azerbaijan, the official said:

“I cannot provide many details because the process is ongoing. The soldiers have been fully released, and regarding the military-political leadership, an investigation is underway because they are considered accused.”
