ArmInfo.The 5 principles presented by Azerbaijan on the peace treaty with Armenia do not contain anything unacceptable for Armenia. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan stated, answering the questions of the parliamentarians from the rostrum of the National Assembly.
In this regard, he stressed that these proposals were supplemented by Armenia, since the provisions of the Azerbaijani side did not affect all important issues on the bilateral agenda, and were submitted to the OSCE Minsk Group. According to Ararat Mirzoyan, the OSCE Minsk Group has already sent an amended version of the proposals to Azerbaijan. Speaking about the announced conditions of the Armenian side, Mirzoyan stressed that the guarantee of the rights and status of Artsakh is fundamental.
At the same time, the minister drew attention to the fact that military operations in Ukraine complicated the work of the OSCE Minsk Group. However, he considered it encouraging that the international community continues to see the solution of the Artsakh issue within the framework of the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Group.
"We continue to make efforts to organize discussions, including on the principles proposed by Armenia for signing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan," he said.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry published proposals of 5 points sent to Yerevan, which are the principles of a peace treaty with Armenia. This includes, in particular, the following proposals:
– mutual recognition by states of sovereignty, territorial integrity, inviolability of state borders and political independence of each other;
– mutual confirmation by states of the absence of territorial claims to each other and their acceptance of a legal obligation not to make such claims in the future;
– refrain from threatening each other's security in international relations, using threats and force against political independence and territorial integrity, as well as other circumstances that do not correspond to the purposes of the UN Charter;
– delimitation and demarcation of the state border, establishment of diplomatic relations;
– opening transport links and communications, establishing other relevant communications and cooperation in other areas of mutual interest." The opposition criticized these actions of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, recalling that the OSCE Minsk Group does not have a mandate to negotiate the normalization of Armenian-Azerbaijani bilateral relations.
