Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said Azerbaijan is monitoring the process of constitutional change in Armenia and that official Baku’s position remains unchanged.
He said the messages and decisions adopted at the historic Washington summit are well known, adding that the Washington declaration also states that Armenia must adopt a new Constitution, APA reported.
Bayramov said important steps have been taken in the process of normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“A clear example of this is the meetings between representatives of civil society, as well as meetings between government officials. The Joint Declaration adopted in Washington also states that, to bring the process to completion, a new Constitution must be adopted in Armenia. The deadlines and timing are part of Armenia’s internal process. After the elections, the Armenian prime minister also made new statements that the text of the Constitution would be presented to the public by the end of the year,” he stated.
On Sept. 8, Armenia’s Ministry of Justice denied reports that a draft of a new Constitution had been published.
“We inform you that the text being circulated is not a draft of the new Constitution, and the information in circulation is disinformation,” the statement said.
