BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 13. Civil society
participation in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia
should be institutionalized, Director of the Center for Studies of
the South Caucasus (CSSC) Farhad Mammadov said at a public
discussion on “The Role of Civil Society in the Peace Process”
today, Trend
reports.
"If the current government wins the parliamentary election in
Armenia, this will allow us to institutionalize civil society
participation in the peace process.
Our achievement today is that communication between the two
sides has been formed at the level of civil societies," he
stressed.
Mammadov also noted that the main obstacle to the signing of the
Baku-Yerevan peace treaty is that the Armenian Constitution still
contains territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
