The agreed text of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan does not contain any provision that the people who lived in the territories of both countries until the collapse of the Soviet Union and then left those territories shall return to their homes, or to the territories where their ancestors lived. This was announced by foreign minister Ararat Mirzoyan in the National Assembly of Armenia Friday.

“We heard the Azerbaijani side’s comment on the constitution of Armenia. Of course, there is again nothing about this in the agreed text of the agreement. In general, there is no unilateral regulation in the text of the agreement. There is also no regulation on constitutions. It is known that we also have our concerns about the constitution of Azerbaijan, it is known that we see certain aspirations there towards the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, but it is also known that we believe that we have certain provisions in the text of the agreement that dispel them. Even if theoretically it is really possible that there may be such demands in the constitutions, then also us, by signing and ratifying the text of the agreement—by the way, that ratification must again go through our Constitutional Court—in our case, we can consider those matters closed once and for all," the Armenian FM emphasized.
