“Which maps does Azerbaijan mean? There are maps from Xenophon’s time, even if we look with a microscope, we will not find Azerbaijan”: Pashinyan

September 15,2022 11:33

Speaking about demarcation and delimitation, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the claims that there is no border between Armenia and Azerbaijan are not true. There are borders between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan, and they have been violated by Azerbaijan. The first stage took place on May 12 last year, and the second stage is being implemented now.

Pashinyan said that an opinion was voiced from Azerbaijan that they should not rely on the maps of the Soviet Union, but of the period before the USSR. “If I’m not mistaken, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs half-jokingly, half-seriously recorded which maps of the previous period they mean, there are maps of Xenophon’s period, even if we look with a microscope, we will not find Azerbaijan. It is illogical. If Azerbaijan does not recognize the maps of the USSR, the logic is not understood there. If they claim that NK is part of Azerbaijan, NK was part of Azerbaijan during the Soviet Union. International scholars should tell the political implications of that statement what they are talking about in relation to the specific situation. Is Azerbaijan guided by the same logic in relation to the border with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation, and Georgia? These are issues that are not only related to Armenia.”
