evidence: 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. [...] Despite the fact that the four villages in Qazakh have been occupied for 30 years, Armenians have not settled there. The houses abandoned by the Azerbaijanis were demolished, and the local people used the land to graze their animals. Regardless, some political commentators, including the opposition in Armenia, continue to see these four villages as part of the Tavush region of Armenia and claim that the main road connecting Armenia to its neighbor Georgia passes through these villages. In fact, parts of one of the 3 roads connecting Armenia to Georgia pass through the village of Ashagi Askipara, and the main road passes through the Alaverdi, Vanadzor and Dilijan regions of Armenia, far from the Azerbaijan-Armenia border. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan touched upon this issue at the press conference and emphasized that a new road could be built instead of the roads passing through Azerbaijani land: [...] 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.
