There can be no talk of handing over any village of Tavush to Azerbaijan - Prime Minister

YEREVAN, MARCH 12, ARMENPRESS. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, assured during a press conference Tuesday that there has never been any discussion and there can be no question about handing over any village in the Tavush region to Azerbaijan. He made this statement in response to questions about Azerbaijan's continued territorial claims against Armenia, specifically Azerbaijan's demand to hand over four villages in the Tavush region. According to Nikol Pashinyan, there is a certain misunderstanding about this issue.

"The names of the villages being raised in the Azerbaijani press have never existed in the territory of the Republic of Armenia; moreover, not only during Soviet times but even afterward," Pashinyan clarified.
