Pashinyan Showed the Map Used for Demarcation in Parliament

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today presented the map used for the demarcation process in parliament. "These are the maps approved by the Soviet Union's authorized body and used by the General Staff in 1976, based on the results of the 1969 demarcation," Pashinyan stated, emphasizing the critical role these maps play in the further development of the country's independence and sovereignty.

The Prime Minister mentioned that he can now speak openly, stating that detailed work has been done to reproduce the entire perimeter of Armenia's borders using the 19 pages of these maps. "This map has de jure legal force," he noted.

Without naming individuals, Nikol Pashinyan referred to a statement by Bishop Bagrat, who called for his resignation, describing their movement as a “chaos movement.” He said, "People who come and say they are making a chaos movement are leading us directly toward non-statehood, non-independence, non-sovereignty, and non-citizenship. They want people in Armenia to sit in a café in the center of Yerevan and dream about Kars, thereby losing Yerevan. They want people to sit in real Kapan, dreaming of Zangelan or what they refer to as Sanasar, and consequently lose real Kapan. This is the conceptual debate," Pashinyan highlighted.
