Baku/11.10.23/Turan: The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry considers the approach of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to the issue of delimitation of the border of the two countries and his accusations against Baku to be inconsistent. 

Commenting on Pashinyan's interview with Armenian Public TV, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry notes that the "map from 1975" to which the Armenian prime minister refers does not exist.

"It is known that during the times of the former USSR, a number of maps of the region were prepared at different times, and not all of these maps were based on legal documents. As for the map of 1975 referred to by Armenia, there is no such map. A number of maps were prepared in the period 1973-1986. 

In general, according to practice, the delimitation process is based not only on maps. In order for them to be referred to in international legal documents, they must be confirmed by both parties. Due to its territorial claims, Armenia has not yet delimited its borders with any of its neighbors. Therefore, the claims that the delimitation is based only on one map does not fit into any logic," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry further noted in the commentary.

To justify Armenia's occupation of 8 villages of Azerbaijan, Pashinyan falsely accuses Azerbaijan of "occupying" its villages.

As for Pashinyan's reference to the principles of international law on which the peace treaty should be based – "independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, inviolability of borders, non-use of force and threats of its use", he forgets that Armenia has ignored these principles for more than 30 years, including 5 years of Pashinyan's own tenure in power.

It is also pointed out that Armenia has not fulfilled its obligations under the Trilateral Statement of November 10, 2020 on unblocking transport communications, and in particular between the western regions of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. ---06B---
