Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia: Concepts and procedures regarding the issue of enclaves-exclaves are clearly described and regulated

ArmInfo. The concepts and procedures regarding the issue of enclaves-exclaves are clearly described and regulated, and Armenia will act exclusively within the framework of the approved rules. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan on October 16 in a conversation with journalists in Yerevan. On the sidelines of the COP-17 leaders' summit, Grigoryan responded to a request for comment on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's statement that there is an agreement that demarcation will result in no enclaves or exclaves in the territories of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"I listened to the prime minister's press conference, and I think he gave clear answers to all the questions. I have nothing to add," Grigoryan said.

Responding to the comment that Pashinyan's words suggest that some agreement has already been reached with Azerbaijan on this issue, Grigoryan assured that no agreement has been reached. According to him, the republic's authorities publish information on any issue that is officially discussed and on which working discussions are underway.

"Any meeting and any discussion on which there is clarity becomes public knowledge, and the information is immediately published." "In this sense, I think we probably had 13 meetings, and all of them were officially announced either in advance or after the meeting. I can't say anything more because there is no demarcation work. There is no work related to demarcation that goes beyond the format, the format you know about. If we had actually discussed the issue of enclaves, and this issue had the status of a working meeting or discussion, you would have seen a report in which the answers to all the questions would have been fully disclosed," he said.

Responding to the comment that Pashinyan's words give the impression that he had some kind of agreement with Aliyev in Ashgabat, Grigoryan emphasized that He was not involved in the conversation between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan and does not know what they discussed.

On October 15, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that he had the impression that the Azerbaijani side was constructively disposed toward the issue of a possible equivalent territorial exchange regarding the exclaves. He noted that he received this impression after a conversation with Aliyev in Ashgabat.
