On what basis is the property of RA citizens, confirmed by cadastral documents, being surrendered in the Tavush region? How can your actions then be called - criminality or incompetence? And is it possible that new territories will be surrendered in the future?" Artsvik Minasyan, a member of the opposition Hayastan faction, asked Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during the government hour on October 2 in parliament.
"Not a single millimeter of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia was given to anyone. On the contrary, not only was no damage done to the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, but the cornerstone of its territorial integrity was also reinforced," Pashinyan replied. At the same time, the Prime Minister recalled that about 200 square kilometers of the Republic of Armenia's sovereign territory are currently under Azerbaijani occupation. But Armenia does not intend to return these territories through military actions, but rather through diplomatic means, he added.
Regarding the cadastral documents confirming the ownership rights of the residents of Kirants in the Tavush region, whose real estate fell under the control of Baku due to the so-called delimitation, according to Pashinyan, the authorities tracked these documents, but did not find enough evidence to issue these certificates. It is possible that some officials, whether intentionally or not, allowed for abuses. Law enforcement officers will investigate further, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Armenia concluded.
