Pro-government MP: 208 sq. km of Armenian territory occupied by Azerbaijan

A total of 208 square kilometers of Armenia's territory remains occupied by Azerbaijan, pro-government MP Hayk Konjoryan said on Wednesday.

“Armenia’s sovereign territory includes 29,743 square kilometers. 208 sq. km of the sovereign Armenian territory is occupied by Azerbaijan,” he said at a parliament sitting, responding to his opposition colleagues.
