/PanARMENIAN.Net/ At today’s parliamentary sitting, Heritage
Parliamentary Faction Secretary Larisa Alaverdyan criticized distorted
Artsakh maps published by RA Media, noting that current maps include
only the territory of ex-Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Region along
with Shahumian, which contradicts the Constitution as well as art. 2
of NKR Law on "Administrative and territorial division".

According to Alaverdyan, recent interview of RA President Serzh
Sargsyan with Vesti Russian TV channel suggests the above to be many
year’s policy of Armenian authorities, and not media mistake.

Heritage Parliamentary Faction Secretary Larisa Alaverdyan urged RA
government to stop infringement of NKR people’s rights for territorial
integrity and self determination, observe international norms,
establish international contractual relations with NKR and acknowledge
NKR independence, thus contributing to its international recognition.

These actions will preclude any claims to NKR safety and territorial
integrity, Alaverdyan concluded.
