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.
