ArmInfo.An official investigation is underway in Armenia into the issue of Yerevan sending maps to the UN, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during government hour in parliament on April 10.
Thus, MP David Arushanyan stated that recently one of the research institutes published maps that the Republic of Armenia sent to the UN in different years. "The territory of Nagorno Karabakh was not included in those maps, and the village of Tigranashen was marked as an Azerbaijani enclave," he noted. In addition, he recalled, yesterday NA Speaker Alen Simonyan demonstrated a letter sent by the Tavush regional administration to the government in 2016, which became the basis for amendments to the legislative act. This letter showed that there was never a settlement named Askipara in Tavush. "Now an official investigation is being carried out on this matter. We also had questions about whether maps were provided by Armenia to the UN at one time for publication," the prime minister said.
Pashinyan noted that the latest changes to the maps were made in 2013. "We found out something very strange: there is no information, at least in the Armenian Foreign Ministry, about sending maps to the UN. At least, no such data has been discovered so far," he noted.
