GEORGIANS TRESPASSED ON OUR LAND, WE ON THEIRS
The process of drawing the Georgian-Armenian border is really based
on the map adopted in 1939. On October 25 Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan confirmed this statement by Member of Parliament Victor
Dallakyan at the National Assembly in answer to the question of
Member of Parliament Armen Ashotyan.
`It's difficult to tell what the purpose of this stir, of raising
this question is. It is possible that this a sincere worry because
this is an important problem and I think that it worries and
interests the members of parliament,' says the foreign minister,
remembering that they take into consideration the map of 1939 because
it is the only comprehensive map. `In fact, yes, because it is the
only map that is more comprehensive and was accepted by both Armenia
and Georgia, the leadership of the time. The other maps are not
comprehensive and precise. But the map of 1939 was accepted as basic.
Nevertheless, we should take into account the reality: the Georgians
have trespassed on our land, and in some parts we trespassed on the
Georgian territory. Today we have to find the golden middle, to find
a pragmatic solution without territorial losses for any of the
sides,' stated Vardan Oskanyan.
