ArmInfo. The delimitation process is not only about working with maps, it is primarily about identifying the legal basis on which they were drawn up. Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan told journalists during a briefing.
Regarding the legal framework, he pointed to the high-level agreements reached between Yerevan and Baku in Sochi and Prague, where there is a clear reference to the Alma-Ata Declaration. "This means that we must deal with redrawing the border line as it was in December 1991," said the Deputy Prime Minister. When asked when the next meeting of the bilateral commission on the delimitation of the Armenian- Azerbaijani border will take place, Grigoryan emphasized that no agreement has yet been reached on the date of the next meeting.
On October 7, 2022, following a meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, which took place on the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron and President of the European Council Charles Michel in Prague, the parties published a joint statement stating that Armenia and Azerbaijan reaffirmed their commitment to the UN Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991, through which both sides recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty. They confirmed that that will serve as the basis for the work of delimitation commissions.
