evidence: Recently, Armenia and Azerbaijan, neighboring countries in the Southern Caucasus, have begun negotiations concerning the return of four villages occupied since the 1990s: Baghanis Ayrim, Ashagi Askipara, Kheyrimli, and Gizilhajili. These villages, located in Azerbaijan’s Qazakh district, were occupied by Armenia between 1990 and 1992. [...] Three of the 7 Qazakh villages—Yukhari Askipara, Sofulu, Berkhudarli—are enclaves within Armenia, while the remaining four villages— Baghanis Ayrim, Ashagi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Gizilhajili —are attached the mainland Azerbaijan. [...] After Pashinyan’s statement, Garnik Danielyan from the opposition Hayastan party visited the Tavush region and said that if Armenia returns these 4 villages, the Gasprom (Russia) gas pipeline will be under the control of Azerbaijan. In fact, the natural gas pipeline passes through the enclave Yukhari Askipara village, not through the non-enclave villages. Answering the media’s question, Deputy CEO of Gazprom Armenia, Chief Engineer Artashes Gabrielyan said that there is no disscusion regarding the relocation of the natural gas pipeline for now.
