News - RFE/RL: Armenia ready to find solutions, including in most problematic areas of Tavush Province, government says

Armenia is ready to go to solutions with the same formula in the most problematic territories adjacent to Tavush Province, the Armenian government stated in response to a query by the RFE/RL Armenian Service. "Accordingly, de jure the territory of Armenia should be under the administration and control of the Republic of Armenia, and the territory of Azerbaijan—under the administration and control of the Republic of Azerbaijan," the Armenian government said, emphasizing that Armenia is ready to go with such solutions along the entire length of its border with Azerbaijan. "Armenia is ready to go to solutions with the same formula also in the most problematic territories adjacent to Tavush Province," the Armenian executive branch of power added. As for the exclaves and enclaves, in this case, for Armenia, "the approach of considering their issue later is conceivable, again having as a starting point the approach of delimiting and demarcating these territories on the basis of documents having de jure legal force." In response to the written question of the RFE/RL Armenian Service, the Armenian government made a reference also to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s statement—made during Tuesday's press conference—that Armenia has no ambitions for any territory outside its internationally recognized territory, but also, it cannot hand over its own sovereign territory.
