ArmInfo.No one in Armenia has the right to surrender territory to anyone, Armenian NA Speaker Alen  Simonyan stated in an interview with the Public Television of Armenia.

According to him, this is prohibited by law. In addition, as the  speaker emphasized, the Armenian authorities do not even intend to  discuss the issue of transferring part of the territory of the  Armenian state to the other side. He cited the Zangezur Corridor as  an example. "We clearly stated that if they try to oblige us to do  something, we will fight against it to the end. The conversations  that are going on today are simply speculation," said the head of the  Armenian parliament.

The speaker noted that "Azerbaijan says that there is a problem,  Armenia in response offers to solve it." "We need delimitation -  let's carry out delimitation. Everything we say has legitimate  grounds," he added.  He called the statements that official Yerevan,  as part of the border demarcation in Tavush, is handing over the  border village of Voskepar to Azerbaijan as ignorant. "Which Voskepar  are we talking about? Such statements are either the result of  illiteracy, or are made for the purpose of provocation in order to  start some kind of internal political processes in Armenia. Remember,  at one time they said that the authorities were surrendering Vayk,"  Simonyan said, showing a map on the monitor , where it is planned to  carry out delimitation and demarcation of the border in the northern  section of the Tavvush region - from Baiganis- Ayrum to  Kyzylgadzhili. "Everything that belongs to Armenia will remain with  it, everything that does not will not," said the head of the Armenian  parliament, proposing in this regard to use not the word "surrender"  and "give", but to talk about the demarcation process.

The politician assured that Armenia is moving towards demarcation not  because of Azerbaijan's threats, but because it is needed. He  answered affirmatively to the presenter's question whether Azerbaijan  recognizes the state border of Armenia after delimitation. At the  same time, Simonyan assured that in the context of delimitation,  Armenia is doing everything to make war impossible. Simonyan noted  that the work process on border delimitation can be assessed  positively, since there is mutual understanding. "I cannot say that  this process is at a dead end," Simonyan stated.
