When accepting a map as basis, it is important to understand what legal grounds it has. The Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia, Gnel Sanosyan, told reporters about this Tuesday.

"If those maps are from the Soviet years, they must be fully clarified and accepted by all parties in order to be a basis. In the map of the [19]20s, for example, Al lakes are marked as the territory of Armenia; so, the [Armenian-Azerbaijani border] changes in this regard would be in our favor. There is a certain line in those maps, from which these lakes remain on this side. These lakes are located in the Vardenis-Jermuk section [of Armenia]. Let's wait and see which year’s the maps will be taken as a basis [to determine the Armenian-Azerbaijani]," Sanosyan added.

According to him, respective discussions are underway, but he is not aware of their details.

"Yes, we [i.e., Armenia] have ended up in a painful situation. But in this situation, peacefully living, developing, standing up, and clarifying the border situation play an important role so that we do not have disputes, they [i.e., the Azerbaijanis] do not hit any [Armenian] cars. Even if something painful can happen in one or two places, it is better to fix the painful problem, to keep in mind that this is our borders, than to have incidents every day," Gnel Sanosyan added.
