Based on my information, the Russian side has made a proposal to Armenia to set up a joint trilateral commission to discuss issues related to delimitation and demarcation. This is what leader of the ruling My Step faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Lilit Makunts told reporters after she was asked if she was aware of the document on which acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a statement today.

“Again, based on my information, the Armenian side has responded by saying that there can be an opportunity to set up a task force or consider the creation of a task force only if the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan vacate the territory of Armenia, “she said.

Asked if it is safe to assume that the content of the document only concerns the formation of a commission that will deal with the adjustment of borders, Makunts said there is no word about the transfer of territories, based on her information.

Asked why the document isn’t being made public, if it is in Armenia’s interests, Makunts said if there are negotiations, only the relevant body is authorized to talk about them.

Touching upon the question whether the National Assembly will discuss the matter, Makunts said time will show. Makunts was also asked about the outcomes of Armenia’s petition to the Collective Security Treaty Organization and said the foreign minister will provide details soon. As for her assessment of Russia’s response to the situation, Makunts said Armenia can in no way accept the fact that the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan infiltrated into the territory of the Republic of Armenia and doesn’t view this within the logic of demarcation.
