No drastic changes have taken place, the negotiation exchange continues, it can be said that there is a positive development. announced NA Speaker Alen Simonyan during a briefing with journalists, referring to the territorial demands voiced by Aliyev, which Nikol Pashinyan considered absolutely unacceptable.
“The Prime Minister’s response to Aliyev’s rhetoric can be called a surprise, because often that rhetoric is outside of the exchanged theses that took place in the negotiations,” he said.
Alen Simonyan insisted that there is no point that RA is unilaterally bound by the peace treaty.
“All theses that exist refer to both sides, there is no thesis that only Azerbaijan should take such a step, or Armenia. There is a contract under discussion, the points of which we are moving forward as of now,” he said.
Alen Simonyan disagreed with the observation that Azerbaijan stubbornly does not agree to recognize the territorial integrity of Armenia. “The president of Azerbaijan has repeatedly made a statement about the territorial integrity of RA, also in the presence of the president of Russia, during interviews, yes, he did not talk about the literal 29,800 square kilometers, but we expect that this will also happen, which will be clarified in terms of demarcation and maybe that is the reason why they refrain from announcing a specific number, maybe they keep it for further bargaining,” he said.
