The visit of Armen Grigoryan, Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, to Washington begins today. According to official sources, he is going to have a number of important meetings. There is no word on what will be discussed there. But it is obvious that they will be devoted mainly to the problem of the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. This visit deserves attention because Armen Grigoryan is not just the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia. In the media, he is rightfully considered one of Nikol Pashinyan's close associates, the "talking head" of the country's prime minister on foreign policy issues. A few days ago, at the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Nikol Pashinyan stressed that the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations should begin with bilateral recognition of each other's territorial integrity. "We have already said that we are ready to take this step, but Azerbaijan has not reacted in the same way," he said. Returning to Yerevan, he wrote on Twitter: “In my speech at the UN, I asked a simple question: does Azerbaijan recognize the territorial integrity of Armenia within its internationally recognized borders? If so, we could proceed to conclude a peace treaty. Unfortunately, there is no positive reaction. The question is why?" Armen Grigoryan, the Secretary of the Security Council, has been demonstrating the same position in recent months. "Armenia has no territorial claims against Azerbaijan," he told Armenpress on July 29. He noted that the principle of inviolability of borders should be reflected in official documents at the bilateral level. Interestingly, after all, events, as a result of which the parties abruptly change places, are unfolding. For 30 years, Azerbaijan tried to persuade Armenia to sign a document on the settlement of the conflict on the basis of the principle of territorial integrity and received mocking refusals. And today, Armenia itself complains that Azerbaijan does not respond quickly enough to such an appeal. “What is the question?” Pashinyan asks. First of all, how sincere is Armenia demonstrating a change of position? For example, doesn't the "talking head of the Prime Minister" - Mr. Grigoryan, confuses that the "Republic of Artsakh" is indicated on the official website of the Security Council of Armenia to this day as his place of birth? By the way, Grigoryan was born in 1983, when such a republic did not even exist in an “unrecognized” form. There was only the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region within the Republic of Azerbaijan. Or: how should Azerbaijan perceive the words of the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia on the territorial recognition of a neighboring country, if a statesman who made such a loud statement, a month later, quietly makes a visit to one of the regions of this very country - just the one that caused all the disagreements, - and holds a meeting? The way in which the diplomatic department of Azerbaijan did: “The illegal step purposefully taken by the Armenian official immediately after the next meeting of the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Brussels, not only casts a shadow on the agreements reached during the meeting, but also clearly demonstrates the insincerity of the Armenian side in the process of normalization ... It shows that Armenia's statements that it has no territorial claims against Azerbaijan and accepts the principles of sovereignty and inviolability of state borders are far from sincerity.” On the eve of Mr. Grigoryan's visit to the US, one of the Azerbaijani Telegram channels posted a photo of his office. On it, the Secretary of the Security Council poses against the background of a map where the vast Azerbaijani regions are listed as part of Armenia. In the corner there are drawings of the attributes of the statehood of the “Artsakh Republic”. “The photo was taken before the 44-day war...” states the note to the picture. We wonder, did Grigoryan change the map in his office, after Pashinyan's statement about the map of Armenia in 29800 km²?! It is impossible to negotiate a territory of 29,800 sq. km. and in parallel to look at this map every day. It is impossible not to notice it in the office. And the last phrase in the note sounds like an open answer to Pashinyan’s significant question “Why?”: “This is the reason for Azerbaijan's tough position. Armenia must give up its territorial claim to Azerbaijan. Otherwise, pressure will continue both directly and through intermediaries.”
