Possible amendments to the Constitution of Armenia are an internal matter and not a subject for discussion with international partners, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on the sidelines of the Yerevan Dialogue forum.
Mirzoyan made the remarks in response to a participant’s observation that Azerbaijan demands amendments to Armenia’s Constitution as a condition for signing the already initialed peace agreement.
“There is no such demand. In what sense do I say there is no such demand? In the sense that this issue is not on the bilateral negotiation agenda. But this is their perception, this is what they say. I have heard them say they are not ready to sign the agreement unless we change the Constitution, but we believe that the Constitution is an internal issue of Armenia. We will probably hold a referendum on the Constitution, but this is not a topic for discussion with international partners,” Mirzoyan said.
Armenia and Azerbaijan initialed the peace agreement in Washington on 8 August 2025. Since then, Armenia has expressed readiness to sign the agreement at any time, while the Azerbaijani side continues to present amendments to the Armenian Constitution as a precondition for signing the agreement.
