“Does Tigranashen belong to Armenia or Azerbaijan according to the 1975 map you mentioned?” Nikol Pashinyan was asked such a question during a meeting with representatives of the Armenian community of Moldova in Manuc Bey Palace. “I don’t want to be very specific, but let’s assume that we start from the assumption at the political level that Kyarki was there.
Suppose we say we should look at the legal basis. Politically, if it turns out that up to this map, it belongs to Azerbaijan, we have no problem, and it is not a fact that Azerbaijan wants to return Artsvashen and take Kyarki,” he said.
“But even if it is so, I want us not to overestimate the value of this issue because there is no such enclave that will cause us an unsolvable road problem… Today, the issue of enclaves is often used for psychological influence on the public of Armenia; they say there is an enclave that belongs to Azerbaijan according to such and such a map. Recently I unofficially went to the village of Voskepar; people there asked what would happen; I said: people, there is no concrete decision yet, but let’s ease the tension on that issue,” said Pashinyan.
