Armenia recognized the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within the borders of 1991, circumstances have changed slightly there, so this also needs to be taken into account, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of Russia, said this in an interview with journalists.

“If we are talking about the territory of Armenia, you know, we have obligations under the CSTO. You also know that after Armenia recognized the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within the borders of 1991, the circumstances have changed slightly, so this also needs to be taken into account. It was Yerevan’s decision,” he said.
