YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd newspaper of the Republic of Armenia (RA) writes: Yesterday ArmLur.am published a document around which Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia are currently negotiating.

Later in the parliament, RA acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed that this very document is being negotiated today, which he also called pro-Armenian.

Let us note that after the signing of this document, a process of demarcation and delimitation must begin.

And as RA independent MP Taguhi Tovmasyan voiced in the parliament yesterday, it may contain risks in terms of Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)], too, and it may mean that we are closing all the opportunities for the solution of the Artsakh issue, for the liberation of the occupied territories of today.

After all, what will this document mean in terms of Artsakh? And what risks does it have? Zhoghovurd daily tried to get the answers to these questions from Artsakh Foreign Minister David Babayan. "I have not seen the original of that document; I do not know what points there are [on it]. But the point is that Artsakh has never been, and it should not be considered that it can be part of Azerbaijan. Now Azerbaijan has occupied about 80 percent of the Artsakh region, and we see what its condition is. Azerbaijan's territorial integrity cannot extend to Artsakh," he noted.

According to Babayan, countries can recognize each other without resolving border and other issues. "We [Artsakh] do not consider it a border, but a line of contact; any Artsakh resident believes so. The people of Armenia must have their own vision and single approach," he added.
