Armenia will abandon litigation with Azerbaijan in international  courts after agreeing on provisions of peace treaty - Nikol Pashinyan

ArmInfo.Armenia will abandon litigation with Azerbaijan in international courts after agreeing on  the provisions of the peace treaty, Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan stated at a press conference on March 12.

According to him, this issue was and is being discussed between  Yerevan and Baku. Armenia's position on this issue is that this issue  can be discussed at the very end of the negotiation process, when the  provisions of the peace treaty are fully agreed upon and it becomes  clear that both parties are ready to sign it, which, according to  Pashinyan, is quite logical. "When we reach the finish line of the  peace treaty, I do not rule out that such an agreement on a mutual  basis will also become the subject of negotiations," the head of  government emphasized.

Earlier, the RA representative on international legal issues,  Yeghisheh Kirakosyan, reported that in April of this year, hearings  in the framework of the claim of Armenia against Azerbaijan will be  held at the UN International Court of Justice. A lawsuit has been  filed with the UN Court to eliminate all forms of racial  discrimination. As Kirakosyan recalled, the interstate complaint is  related to the propaganda of hatred and xenophobia, the policy of  Armenophobia pursued by Azerbaijan for decades. A public hearing on  the case is expected in April. Before that, there will be hearings on  Azerbaijan's claim against Armenia. Both discussions will take place  from April 15 to 26. According to the lawyer, Yerevan presented new  evidence of massive violations by Azerbaijan to the UN court.
