YEREVAN, January 13. /TASS/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has described the recent statements from Azerbaijani as harmful for peace talks between the two countries.

"I assess the latest statements from Azerbaijan as a serious blow to the peace process. The process of border delimitation is not about creating a border, but for our delimitation commissions to restore the borders that existed at the time of the Alma-Ata Declaration. Of course, Azerbaijan now is going through an election campaign, but we assess these statements as territorial claims to Armenia," he said.

Earlier, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Azerbaijani forces are not going to pull out of the territories they seized in clashes with Armenian troops in 2021 and 2022.
