Aliyev Presents Two Main Conditions to Armenia

The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has outlined two main conditions for signing a peace treaty with Armenia. This was reported by various media outlets.

“To date, the text of the peace treaty has been fully agreed upon and consists of 17 points. Azerbaijan is not imposing any additional conditions here. Our conditions are known to Armenia and are not new. We have been bringing these conditions forward for a long time. However, we have not yet received a serious response from Armenia,” he said.

According to Aliyev, first, it is necessary to eliminate the OSCE Minsk Group.

“The second issue concerns the Constitution of Armenia. The Constitution of Armenia contains a reference to the Declaration of Independence of Armenia. This is an integral part of the Constitution. There is a provision that Azerbaijan's legitimate historical territory is united with Armenia, and this is considered a direct territorial claim against us,” noted Ilham Aliyev.

“Therefore, removing this provision from the Constitution of Armenia is our legitimate demand. Once these two conditions are fulfilled, there will be no obstacles to signing the peace treaty. As they say, the ball is in Armenia's court. If Armenia genuinely wants to conclude a peace treaty, it must accept these two legitimate conditions from Azerbaijan,” emphasized the Azerbaijani leader.
