ArmInfo.At his meeting with representatives of the Armenian community in Vladivostok, Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan admitted threats posed by border delimitation and demarcation.
"In international venues Azerbaijan states it has no territorial claims on Armenia. However, by using such a phrase as 'Eastern Zangezur' it, of course, means there is 'Western Zangezur'. All this means implied claims," Mr Pashinyan said.
He pointed out various opinions of which maps should be the basis for border delimitation and demarcation. "Some say these should be maps of 1921 and 1923, others say these should be maps of 1975, 1969. We say border demarcation must be based on the documents in legal force," Armenia's premier said.
"Azerbaijan is making claims that the map of a town 'proves' that Zangezur was 'illegally handed over to Armenia' or some settlements were 'illegally handed over to Armenia' in 1921 or in 1923. This is a counterproductive approach, which also reveals internal threats and Azerbaijan's ambitions. We must move forward and settle the issue of border demarcation and find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem," Mr Pashinyan said.
