Using the example of the Statement of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the President of the Russian Federation dated November 9, 2020, the legal nature of statements by heads of state was stud-ied. The relevance of the research topic is emphasized, due to the problems of statements by heads of state as one of the types of international treaties. It was revealed that when adopting this Statement, the contracting parties committed legal flaws related to the content, the expression of consent to be bound by its provisions, registration and publication. It has been established that statements by heads of state establishing, changing or terminating mutual rights and obligations, formalized in writing, are interna-tional treaties. Taking into account the principles of international law, it is concluded that, being international agreements, the Declarations fall within the scope of application of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1969, and the provisions of this convention must apply to them. It is recommended to conclude international agreements called Statements in the manner estab-lished by the norms of international and domestic law of the states party to the agreement. On official Internet portals where in-ternational treaties are officially published, add a form such as Statement to their titles.
