There are no enclaves in Noyemberyan community. Head of Noyemberyan community

There are no enclaves in Noyemberyan community, the people of Noyemberyan live in their Armenian land. Arsen Aghababyan, head of the Noyemberyan community, member of the political council of the “Country to live in” party, said this in an interview with Tert.am, referring to the statement of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, according to which Tigranashen and the six villages of Tavush are not included in the territorial integrity of Armenia.

“The entire administrative territory of Noyemberyan community is the territory of the Republic of Armenia.The “enclaves” you mentioned are our homeland.We have no villages and lands to surrender to the enemy, and the people of Noyemberyan are not going to hand over the territories to anyone for the simple reason that our arable lands in the neighborhood of that so-called enclave are under the control of the enemy.By the way, our territory under their control has more important strategic importance,” announced Arsen Aghababyan.

Let’s remind that during today’s press conference, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that he is ready to accept the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan with an area of 86,600 square kilometers, and according to him, it includes the enclaves of Tigranashen and 6 villages of Tavush.
