"Therefore, I warn the Armenian authorities, particularly Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, that if they withdraw Armenia’s international lawsuits, many Armenians, including myself, will take legal action against the Armenian government in international courts for violating our rights," Beglaryan warned.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has briefed Russian President Vladimir Putin on a finalised draft peace agreement wirh Azerbaijan in a phone call, the Armenian government said on Friday.

But hurdles remain. Azerbaijan also said Armenia’s constitution must “eliminate the claims against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,” as a prerequisite to allow for the signing of the peace treaty.
