During the USSR, they thought that the USSR was eternal, and now it is very difficult to find the dividing documents, and it is very difficult to say something specific. Alen Simonyan, speaker of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, told this to reporters at the NA Tuesday—and reflecting on Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan's statement that there are no legal grounds and legal documents regarding "enclaves."

"There is the specific Artsvashen [village], whose belonging to Armenia is not disputed by any side. But I am sure that we will find a solution to that issue," added Simonyan.

To the question as to whether there is a legal basis in terms of enclaves the speaker of the Armenian responded as follows: "If there is, we [Armenia] are ready to return their [i.e. the Azerbaijanis] enclaves, and they must return our Artsvashen. I do not rule out that we will find some solution and, for example, what is on this side of the border will stay here, what is on the other side of the border will stay there. For example, the area of Artsvashen is much larger than the two or three enclaves that Azerbaijan can talk about."

And referring to security, Alen Simonyan said: "If there is peace, Armenia is able to oversee and provide with its own forces those few small territories that can become an exclave from Armenia. Azerbaijan should do the same. We do everything in the logic of equality."
