Not a single millimeter of sovereign territory of Armenia was  transferred to Azerbaijan during delimitation, Pashinyan assures

ArmInfo.I consider conversations about concessions to Azerbaijan absolutely unacceptable, said Prime  Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on May 22 during government hour in parliament.

"If the existing border is reproduced de jure, then to consider it a  concession is at least illogical. I would consider this a success,  because for the first time in its history, Armenia independently,  through negotiations, forms a border, lays the most important  cornerstone of independence, sovereignty and statehood," the Prime  Minister said.

Pashinyan once again pointed out that in 1991, by joining the  Alma-Ata Declaration, Armenia, in fact, once again recorded that it  was becoming an independent country within the borders of Soviet  Armenia. "And as of 1991, there were de jure borders between the  Armenian and Azerbaijani SSRs. And we de jure raised all the  foundations of this border, understood where the legal border of the  Republic of Armenia passes, checked and reproduced them on the ground  according to the principle - "the border passes where it passes," he  said.

Nikol Pashinyan assured that during this process not a single  millimeter of the sovereign territory of Armenia was transferred to  Azerbaijan. "The sovereign territory of Armenia is completely fixed  in the delimited areas," he said.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the current government decisions  are legally justified, including by state institutions. "I have no  doubts about the legal validity of the decisions, because their  legality was recorded by our state institutions and there can be no  doubts," Pashinyan said.

The opposition and, in particular, the Tavush for the Motherland  movement accuse the RA authorities of unilateral concessions and the  surrender of strategically important territories of the country.  Thus, according to the protocol-description of the commission on  delimitation and demarcation of borders, in the area of the village  of Kirants, Tavush region of the Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijan will  receive two houses, a bridge, a section of the interstate road to  Georgia and about 50 land plots.
