The Armenian leadership refuses to share with the opposition details of the ongoing negotiations with Azerbaijan on a peace treaty, Artsvik Minasyan, the secretary of the opposition Hayastan faction, said on Thursday.

Speaking at a parliament briefing, he claimed the incumbent authorities have repeatedly turned down the requests of the Hayastan MPs to familiarize themselves with Armenia’s version of the document in violation of the law.

“There were numerus cases when we asked the government for information, but it either did not respond to the requests or rejected them,” the MP said, accusing Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's administration of unlawful conduct.

“The authorities are trampling on Armenia’s national interests, but are now talking about evading responsibility,” Minasyan said, referring to ruling Civil Contract MP Artur Hovhannisyan’s statements.

Hovhannisyan stated earlier on Thursday that opposition MPs had previously turned down Pashinyan’s offers to meet with them behind the closed doors and discuss details of the negotiating process, accusing them of thus evading any responsibility for it.
