We Have Recognized Azerbaijan's Territorial Integrity: Pashinyan

During the campaign for the 2026 parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed the principles of the government regarding border delimitation and refugees.

A citizen asked Pashinyan about the so-called "enclaves." "We have our own issue – Artsvashen is part of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, and we cannot abandon it; we cannot say that Artsvashen does not exist. As a result of the delimitation, we need to find solutions regarding what we will do. The conflict has been resolved; now, as a result of the delimitation, we need to address the final consequences. We have recognized Azerbaijan's territorial integrity on the same principle by which they have recognized our territorial integrity," Pashinyan stated.

Pashinyan also addressed questions from citizens regarding the return of refugees. "As much as we speak about refugees from Baku, Karabakh, Sumgait, Nakhchivan, and so on... the essence of the strategic deal is this – both countries focus on their internationally recognized territories, the people of Karabakh settle here, and our other refugee brothers and sisters settle here, and we concentrate on the Republic of Armenia, closing the chapters of being displaced and migrant. The same applies to Azerbaijan," Pashinyan noted.
