No agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan over maps - Pashinyan

YEREVAN, MARCH 20, ARMENPRESS. As of now, there is no agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the maps that should be used in the delimitation process, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this Wednesday during a question-and-answer session with members of the government in the National Assembly.

"There is no agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the maps. There is an agreement that Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity on the basis of the Alma Ata Declaration.

However, there is an understanding that a delimitation process should take place between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the political basis of which should be the Alma Ata Declaration,’’the PM said.

The Prime Minister clarified the process of conducting border delimitation based on the Alma Ata Declaration.

“It does not mean to create a new border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but it means to re-express the most recent de jure borders of the Soviet Union on the ground," concluded Pashinyan.
