Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Aykhan Hajizadeh, stated that Baku categorically rejects the March 18, 2025, statement by Armenia’s Prime Minister’s Office, arguing that it contains "baseless accusations against Azerbaijan and distorts the situation on the ground, including border shooting incidents."

He further emphasized that the main condition for signing the agreed text of the peace treaty is amending Armenia's Constitution, as reported by APA.

Hajizadeh noted that while "this demand has long been put forward," Armenia continues to "ignore it."

"We reaffirm Azerbaijan’s principled stance: the primary condition for signing the agreed text is constitutional amendments that eliminate any territorial claims against Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Additionally, we consider it necessary to officially dissolve the outdated and non-functional OSCE Minsk Group and its affiliated structures," the statement reads.

Hajizadeh also accused the Armenian side of presenting "complex and practically unfeasible proposals instead of demonstrating goodwill and refraining from provocations."

Baku reiterated accusations against Armenia regarding arms deployment, "including the positioning of strike weapons in border areas."

"Regarding the opening of communications, despite Armenia’s written and signed commitments to open transport links connecting Azerbaijan’s western regions with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, it has failed to fulfill them for four years. Instead, it proposes impractical, excessively long routes to divert attention from its obligations. If Armenia is genuinely interested in opening regional transport links, it should not evade its commitments and must take concrete steps in line with the new regional realities," Hajizadeh declared.

The Prime Minister’s Office responded to recent disinformation from Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry, stating that the Armenian military has neither the intention nor orders to violate the ceasefire.

The statement also reiterated Armenia’s commitment to the peace agenda, highlighting steps aimed at finalizing the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement and normalizing interstate relations. The Armenian government called on Azerbaijan to begin discussions on the location and date for the signing.
