In a recent National Assembly-Government question-and-answer session, Armenia’s Prime Minister c expressed his hope that statements coming from Baku would not derail the ongoing peace process. The Prime Minister raised concerns about the potential negative impact of recent statements made by the President of Azerbaijan.

What are we to do? What we have to do is to align the diplomatic languages ​​of both Armenia and Azerbaijan with legitimacy."

Responding to a question from Agnesa Khamoyan, a deputy of the "Armenia" faction, regarding the legitimate border of the Republic of Armenia, Prime Minister Pashinyan affirmed, "I know where the borders of the Republic of Armenia are, you also know, everyone knows, and the Republic of Armenia has internationally recognized borders." He referred to the borders that existed as of December 1991 and the Alma Ata Declaration of 1991, which elevated administrative borders between Soviet republics to state borders.
