Doctor of Juridical Science Gevorg Danielyan has commented on the reports about the existence of a draft treaty which is allegedly planned to be signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan during the upcoming trilateral meeting in Moscow.
"Both the Constitution of Armenia and the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties envisage no process of secret domestic coordination for draft international treaties. It is not envisaged by the Armenian legislation either – in particular by laws 'On international treaties' and "On the state and official secrets," Danielyan wrote on Facebook,
"Negotiations be kept secret but not the domestic coordination process of drafts developed as a result of those negotiations.
He reminded that the translated version of a draft treaty is subject to submission to at least three ministries for conclusions.
