News - Armenia PM on FM statement on Azerbaijan refusal to delimit border under Alma Ata declaration: It's an impression

Ararat Mirzoyan's statement could in no way refer to the border delimitation and demarcation commissions; Mirzoyan was talking about the peace treaty talks. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at his press conference today—and referring to the fact that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan, announced recently that Azerbaijan refuses to carry out border delimitation based on the Alma Ata declaration of 1991. "And I have said about it that we are talking about our impressions of the general process at this phase. And on the other hand, the references made in my opening speech also make it clear that the agreements reached on October 6, 2022 and October 31, 2022, May 14, and July 15, 2023, that the Alma Ata declaration should be the main principle of the peace process, and the political base of the border delimitation and demarcation process. These are the agreements, and we continue to work on, we continue to build them," said Pashinyan. According to him, one should rely only on one's own strength, and the diversification of foreign policy is one of the expressions and forms of relying on oneself. "It is a form of relations when you have the opportunity to discuss the issues of your agenda with a wider and wider circle. In such a case, you rely on yourself. This is one of those mindset changes I was talking about. It would be good to have that change recorded in our thinking. And one of its best ways is to record it in the constitution," said the Armenian premier.
