I don't have information about the proposals made by Armenia to Baku; it is in the domain of the foreign ministry. Yeghishe Kirakosyan, the representative of Armenia for international legal affairs, told this to reporters at the National Assembly of Armenia Friday—and in response to the remark that one of the main two points of disagreement in the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace talks is the exclusion of these legal disputes.

"I don't think that the legal disputes between the two countries can hinder the peace process. In my opinion, the point of legal disputes is to establish peace to some extent. When states initiate legal disputes, resolve differences in a civilized way, it also means preventing war," added Kirakosyan.

To the question, in that case, how he will explain that it is acceptable for Armenia to take back its legal disputes, Kirakosyan responded: "I can't explain it; it wouldn't be right for me to comment on it. But I can confidently say that the ongoing dispute initiated by Armenia, for example, on the basis of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which is being examined at the International Court of Justice, based also on the preamble to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, is aimed at preventing war because from the beginning, one of the goals of the convention itself was that the prevention and prohibition of promoting racism is aimed at strengthening peace and preventing war. In my opinion, it is very reasonable and logical."

And when asked whether Armenia could carry out Azerbaijan's demands and withdraw its legal disputes against Azerbaijan from international courts, Kirakosyan answered as follows: "One should not rush to comment on that. Azerbaijan also has cases against Armenia; it is not only Armenia that has cases against Azerbaijan. Here the question rises: if Azerbaijan is confident in its legal positions, why are they putting forward the idea of stopping court proceedings?”
