In a briefing with journalists, the head of the General Staff of the RA Armed Forces once again urged them not to ask him questions about Nikol Pashinyan’s targeting of Artsakh citizens, reminding him of his military position.

“The Prime Minister of RA did not say something like that: you are from Artsakh, I am Armenian, I hold a responsible position, head of the RA Armed Forces General Staff, and I fulfill the tasks set before me,” he emphasized.

Referring to the demarcation and demarcation process, Edward Asryan noted that these works have a basis – the corresponding map.

“The main headquarters has this map, and we carry out our work according to its requirements. There is also a representative of the Armed Forces in the commission, who knows military cartography very well, knows all the requirements of that map,” he said, stressing that the territory of Armenia is 29,743 square meters.

“Not an inch of ground will be surrendered. If these enclaves are included in the 29743 square kilometers of RA, not a millimeter of land will be handed over,” stressed the head of the General Directorate.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia announced on one occasion that “the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is guided by the 1975 topographical map of the USSR on a scale of 1:100,000, which has legal force.”

168.amtoo had written, that the actual area of ​​RA is not 29,743 sq km, because, according to Pashinyan’s article, it also includes the occupied 200 sq km, which has not been restored, which Edward Asryan does not talk about. Instead, he says that if the “enclaves” enter it, they will not surrender, knowing full well that Pashinyan has announced that the 3 villages of Tavush and Tigranashen will surrender. In other words, Edward Asryan says the same thing in an indirect way.
