‘We are leaving on the 31st of October, no ifs or buts.’ Tories in real trouble on this. Two Conservative PMs gone back on their word. Almost four years since the referendum and we’re still EU members. Not acceptable.pic.twitter.com/XPyL86QgLz

So a treaty can be amended if both sides agree ?...my question is directed towards, who, specifically, in each side agrees to this ? Especially when Parliament had to vote for a specific article but does not have to vote to change or amend the article & as such the treaty.
Adam Bienkov
The PM asks (regardless how he is made to do so) for a change as our representative to the EU. The EU agrees (all 27 members give them the say so) and the treaty changes. Parliament didn't actually vote for the article but simply to trigger it.

So the executive of Parliament (The Government) has the authority to make this decision ? They no longer control the majority & as such this executive power is in the hands of the opposition. A coup !

The government are currently ruled by the Benn Act which makes it unlawful for the PM to not accept the extension to the 31st January. In all things parliament is sovereign.
