These Issues Can Be Considered Closed Once and For All: Mirzoyan

In the agreed text of the peace agreement, there is no provision stating that people who were settled in the territories of the two countries before the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequently left those territories must return to their homes or to the areas where their ancestors lived. This statement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ararat Mirzoyan, today, March 14, during a session in the National Assembly.

“We heard the Azerbaijani side's comments regarding Armenia's constitution. Of course, there is nothing in the agreed text of the agreement about this; there is generally no unilateral regulation in the text of the agreement. There is also no provision regarding constitutions. It is well known that we have our concerns about Azerbaijan’s constitution, and it is known that we see certain aspirations towards the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia. However, it is also known that we believe that there are certain provisions in the text of the agreement that dispel these concerns. Even if, theoretically, such demands might exist in the constitutions, we, by signing and ratifying the text of the agreement, which, by the way, must again go through our constitutional court, in our case can consider these issues closed once and for all,” emphasized Mirzoyan.
