I hope that the purpose of the statements coming from Baku is not to bring the peace process to a dead end. Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during the Parliament-Government question-and-answer session, referring to the recent statements of the President of Azerbaijan.
"I myself recorded that Armenia and Azerbaijan speak different diplomatic languages. What are we to do? What we have to do is to align the diplomatic languages of both Armenia and Azerbaijan with legitimacy," said the Prime Minister.
Referring to the question of Agnesa Khamoyan, deputy of the 'Armenia' faction, what is the legitimate border of the Republic of Armenia, the Prime Minister responded. "I know where the borders of the Republic of Armenia are, you also know, everyone knows, and the Republic of Armenia has internationally recognized borders. Those borders are the borders that existed as of December 1991, and with the Almaty Declaration of 1991, the administrative borders between the Soviet republics were upgraded to state borders. And this is also the reason why we say that the delimitation process will not create a new border because according to the agreements already reached, these borders should be reproduced on maps, on paper and on the ground according to the Almaty Declaration of 1991," he said. Pashinyan then added that he means that first the territory should be recorded and reproduced through the reproduction of the border.
"And the borders are known from the political point of view, from the technical point of view, they are known, it remains to be reproduced during the work process," he said.
