During his visit to the southern regions, Vanetsyan discussed the program of settling the territory along the bank of the Araks River with the top leadership of Artsakh. In particular, it is planned to build the settlement Araksavan, to develop agriculture here and to create infrastructures. According to Vanetsyan, the settlement of these territories is one of the main security guarantees of Artsakh. In the context of the discussions, Vaniecian noted that the implementation of this project is already a refutation of speculation that negotiations are underway around possible territorial concessions. "Implementing this program, we are sending a clear message to the world that no one will surrender even a single inch of land. On the contrary, our compatriots should live in our territories, live and create," said Vanetsyan.
