Baghirov Siyavush Mehdi- Constitutional crisis in Caucasus: Position Against the Resolution 1749 of The Constitutional Court of Armenia

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remained
frozen for nearly three decades, culminated in a war in 2020 bringing about a series of new realities in the region [19, p. 93-98; 20, p. 113-115]. Between 2020 and 2023, numerous border clashes occurred between parties [31], followed by Armenia’s recognition of Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity over Nagorno-Karabakh [7; 39, p. 47]. Ultimately, in 2023, Azerbaijan secured a decisive victory over the separatist unit, marking the factual end of the conflict [31]. However, the absence of a peace treaty continued to generate instability in the Caucasus. On March 13, 2025, officialstatements from both sides indicated that an agreement had been reached on all clauses of the peace treaty [43]. One of the most critical points of contention concerned the Armenian Constitution (See

note 1). Although both parties had repeatedly
emphasized the ongoing development of peace negotiations over the past four to five years, the presence of Declarations affirming state independence – the secession acts from the Soviet Union – in the preambles of both the Azerbaijani and Armenian Constitutions led to mutual concerns.
