Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan today – on March 12, he said that there was never a conversation about giving some village of Tavush province to Azerbaijan, and it will never happen.
“Every time the names of these villages are mentioned in the Azerbaijani press, there have never been villages with such names in the territory of Armenia”Pashinyan emphasized.
But the prime minister did not rule out that the delimitation will start from Tavush territory.
Regarding the exchange of territories with Azerbaijan, Pashinyan said that there are few such possibilities: “It could be misleading or lead to additional risks.”
“For this reason, we must find out where our communications are in the near future. We must make sure that all communications in Armenia pass through its territory, so that we do not have problems in this area,” the Prime Minister of Armenia added.
According to him, signing a peace agreement with Azerbaijan and demarcating the borders based on three principles is a priority for Yerevan. Those principles are: Azerbaijan and Armenia should recognize each other’s territorial integrity based on the 1991 Almaty Declaration. Let the Almaty declaration be the political basis for border demarcation and not create new borders. Regional communications should be opened based on the principles of sovereignty, respect for jurisdiction, equality and reciprocity.
