Armenia's 29,743 square kilometer territory does not include the well-known enclaves. Arsvashen is included, but the enclaves of the Soviet period are not. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced this on September 17 during the international conference "Comprehensive Security and Resilience - 2026". According to his assessment, if Armenia says that its sovereign territory is 29,753 square kilometers, then at the expense of someone else, it goes out of the scope of international legitimacy by 10 square kilometers and gives that other person legitimacy to take actions against it. to shoot. He assured that the authorities of Armenia, relying on international legitimacy, deprive everyone of the legitimacy to take actions against the country. "Does this mean a solid guarantee?" No, it doesn't mean. Therefore, a complex approach is important. Legitimacy is the first layer, interdependence is the second. It is often said that Armenia does a lot, but Azerbaijan does not. In this regard, the most prominent thing is that the railway of Azerbaijan is open to Armenia in both directions. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan does not use the railway of Armenia at the moment. Therefore, according to that logic, Azerbaijan's railway should not be open to Armenia," Pashinyan said. The head of the government emphasized the importance of the component of international legitimacy. He emphasized that if the relationship is legitimate, then it does not contain an element of threat, and if there is an element of illegitimacy in that relationship, then it contains a threat. The Prime Minister reaffirmed that the army operates and develops in order to protect the sovereign and internationally recognized border. He expressed the opinion that leaving this logic means that Armenia will face serious difficulties and become vulnerable, as a legitimate basis for the actions of others will be created. "The rumors about Kyarki are related to this. We say that the Declaration of Alma-Ata is a fundamental principle in the matter of demarcation and demarcation. This means the complete identity of the territory of Armenia with the territory of the Armenian SSR, which Armenia recognized even before 2018 by adopting the "Land Balance" law, where the territory of the country is indicated as 29,743 square kilometers. And to say that Kyarki does not exist means leaving the logic of 29,743 square kilometers," the Prime Minister emphasized. He considered it very important for Armenia to be involved in the global supply chain, so that other countries think that if something happens in Armenia, they will also suffer. According to his assessment, Armenia has received a unique opportunity to achieve such interconnection within the framework of the unblocking of communications and the implementation of the TRIPP project. Nikol Pashinyan expressed confidence that due to the development of energy technologies, Armenia can become 100% self-sufficient in terms of energy.
