YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The map of 1939 is used as a basis
in the negotiations concerning delimitation of the Armenian-Georgian
borders. RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian stated about it at the
NA on October 25. In his words, it is the only most complete map
which was adopted by the Armenian and Georgian authorities of that
time. In the Minister’s words other maps, particularly the one of
1945, are not complete and clear. V.Oskanian mentioned that borders
fixed in the 1939 map were violated in some parts by both sides.
"And today we face the task to find the golden mean, to find pragmatic
solutions for none of the sides has territorial losses," the Minister
mentioned. In V.Oskanian’s words, there are still not agreed problems
between the negotiating sides. Exclusing possibility of concessions
damaging interests of Armenia, the Minister mentioned that there is
no alternative for mutually agreed exchanges. Otherwise, the issue
of the borders may not be settled, what, in the Minister’s words,
does not arise of interests of the two countries.
