Pashinyan says strategic infrastructures in Armenia will be preserved

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the strategic infrastructures of the republic will not fall into the territory of Azerbaijan as a result of delimitation. He said this in an interview with Public TV on January 25.

"Our strategic infrastructures as a result of delimitation cannot remain on the territory of another country," the Armenian prime minister said.

According to him, there may be situations when during discussions the countries may propose to exchange territories, but this will require a referendum.

Earlier, on January 15, Armenian Defense Minister Suren Papikyan said that there are no grounds for escalation of the situation with Azerbaijan. According to him, Armenia has solutions to every problem. Any issue can be solved through negotiations.

Prior to that, on January 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Yerevan had sent proposals to Baku on two points of the draft peace treaty that had not been agreed upon. He also noted that Armenia offered Azerbaijan to open a railroad connection.

On October 23, 2024, it became known that the Armenian National Assembly ratified the provisions on border delimitation with Azerbaijan in the first reading. Sixty-seven deputies voted in favor of adopting the draft. They assume that the disputes between the republics will be resolved not by military means or force, but on a special platform.

The relations between the two countries have been aggravated, among other things, against the backdrop of disputed ownership of Nagorno-Karabakh. On October 5, 2023, Pashinyan signed a declaration recognizing Azerbaijan's borders, which included Nagorno-Karabakh. Despite this, there are still periodic armed clashes on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
