“Hraparak” newspaper writes:
“We learned from our official sources that the issue of so-called enclaves will enter the agenda after changing the RA Constitution. The thing is that Aliyev wants to finally close the Artsakh issue in an unhindered way by removing the reference to the Declaration of Independence from the preamble of the Constitution, and then only move to the borders of Armenia.
Because, incidentally, the handing over of Tigranashen, Kyarki, will be of fatal importance, and if that process takes place, then Aliyev may finally forget that the Armenian people will participate in the constitutional referendum. The point is that losing Tigranashen will be of strategic importance for us, Vayots Dzor and Syunik may be cut off from the northern part of Armenia as a result. By the way, some circles in CP continue to hold the position that Artsvashen and Tigranashen should be exchanged, but Pashinyan is categorically against this option, as if he cannot cede the sovereign territory of the RA, namely Artsvashen, without a referendum.”
