Mher Grigoryan: delimitation process is not only about working with  maps; it is primarily about identifying legal basis on which they  were drawn up

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.
