Azerbaijan says wants enclaves backMay 10, 2022 - 12:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov has said that enclaves in the territory of Armenia will be returned to Baku. "The return of seven villages of the Gazakh region and the village of Karki (Tigranashen) in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the border delimitation process," Khalafov said on Tuesday, May 10, Haqqin.az reports. “These lands are the territory of Azerbaijan. Since their return to Azerbaijan requires a process of delimitation, the issue will be considered in this context. The transfer of these territories to Azerbaijan will be discussed and a solution will be found”. Armenia too has an enclave in the territory of Azerbaijan. Secretary of Security Council Armen Grigoryan told reporters earlier in May that Yerevan and Baku had not discussed the enclaves. Grigoryan said as a possible solution, Armenia could leave its enclave to Azerbaijan, while those of Azerbaijan, which are in the territory of Armenia, could remain to Armenia. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met in Brussels on April 6 and agreed to set up a bilateral border commission by the end of April.
