Armenia`s government comments on results of premier`s meeting with  residents of village of Kirants

ArmInfo. Armenia's government has commented on the results of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's  meeting with residents of the village of Kirants, Tavush province. 

According to the press service of the executive body, Deputy Prime  Minister Mher Grigoryan and other officials took part in the meeting  that took place the day before.

Village residents raised all the issues that concerned them.

The RA Prime Minister presented in detail the current process of  delimitation and demarcation of borders and emphasized that all the  problems are well known in the government. It was proposed to begin  work on site and resolve the issues that arose through joint  discussions.

Meanwhile, as Gegham Nazaryan of the opposition parliamentary faction  Armenia, noted in a conversation with journalists the day before, the  authorities again left the village residents in a state of  uncertainty. He emphasized that the Kirans insisted that the new  border between Armenia and Azerbaijan correspond to the  administrative boundaries of the Soviet period. However, this  initiative was not accepted by the authorities.  Moreover, as  Nazaryan noted, the village residents were told that this border  allegedly ran incorrectly.

According to an official press release, on the basis of geodetic  measurements on the border of the Republic of Armenia and the  Republic of Azerbaijan, within the framework of coordinate adjustment  works, as of April 29, 2024, more than half of the planned works have  been carried out: 35 border posts have been installed. The work of  the expert groups of the two countries continues.

On April 19, the commission for demarcation of the border between  Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to begin demarcation of the border from  the Tavush region. According to them, the description of these  sections of the border line will be drawn up taking into account the  clarification of the coordinates that will be obtained as a result of  geodetic measurements on site. All this will be documented in the  appropriate protocol description, which must be agreed upon and  signed between the parties before May 15 of this year.
