The Republic of Armenia has responded to this issue through the most competent official—the Director of the Matenadaran—and has affirmed the Armenian origins of Gandzasar. I consider any further discussion on this topic pointless. Nikol Pashinyan stated this.

It is worth recalling that Grono was part of the delegation that visited Gandzasar. During the visit, Hikmet Hajiyev, an aide to the President of Azerbaijan, presented Armenian cultural heritage as Caucasian Albanian and showed the delegation blank pages in books at the Gandzasar Matenadaran—a gesture that prompted laughter from the officials present.
