Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Ruben Rubinyan wrote on his Facebook page:
"If we look back far enough, we will eventually find that the name 'Sevan' does not appear on old maps. Instead, we will see the Geghama Sea or the Gegharkunik Sea, and Azerbaijan will not be mentioned at all.
However, there is no benefit in dwelling on the past. Our focus should be on moving forward. That is the essence of the August 8 Declaration."
