Mher Grigoryan: Baku is inclined to continue border delimitation  process in same format and with same algorithm

ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani side is inclined to continue the process of delimitation with Armenia in the  same format and with the same algorithm that we used this time in the  Tavush region of Armenia and the Gazakh region of Azerbaijan. Deputy  Prime Minister, Chairman of the Commission on Border Delimitation  with Azerbaijan Mher Grigoryan stated on May 16 during a meeting of  the RA government.

As he noted:" during yesterday's meeting, the discussions regarding  the regulations also continued. It seems there is an agreement that  the principles adopted in this process will be reflected in the  regulations and work on the draft will continue intensively. Also, I  want to reconfirm that the Azerbaijani side is also inclined to  continue the demarcation process in the same format, with the same  algorithm that we used this time, he said, the government's press  service reports.

In turn, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan added that we also have to  deal with the implementation of the already made decisions in the  next 8-10 days. "Although I must say, for example, for more than a  week or even 10 days, the border guard troops of the Republic of  Armenia have been carrying out duty in Baghanis- Voskepar section,  that is, from the moment when the border posts were installed, that  is, immediately after the completion of the installation of the posts  in that area, the border guard troops were deployed, now they are  studying the area in order to carry out permanent service there. The  same process will take place in other sectors as well,"  Pashinyan  noted.

Yesterday, the border demarcation commissions of Armenia and  Azerbaijan, in compliance with the joint protocol adopted on April  19, agreed on some sections of the border in the villages of Baghanis  of Armenia - Baghanis-Ayrum of Azerbaijan, Voskepar of Armenia -  Ashagi Askipara of Azerbaijan, Kirants of Armenia - Kheyrimli of  Azerbaijan, Berkaber of Armenia - Ghizilhajili  of Azerbaijan.  Descriptions and protocols of these border areas were signed.

As it became known from a message from the administration of the  Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, three coordinates in the  Kirants area have been determined using a computer; the markers will  be installed later. "The other markers have been installed.  Good  news for Kirants is that the village will regain about 25 hectares of  agricultural land that has been inaccessible to Kirants for the past  33 years. The border description is exactly as presented on the 1976  map. As mentioned earlier, the issue of road relocation will arise,  but it can be addressed within 2-3 months. Additionally, the road  leading from highway H-26 to Acharkut and further to Kirants, which  serves as an alternative for Kirants, will be repaired. Regarding  property matters, their scope will not be large, and any damage  suffered by citizens in such cases will be compensated by the state  through property or financial means according to their preference.  Government representatives will commence inventorying potential  issues and engaging in discussions with Kirants residents early in  the morning," the government stated. It is expected that border  guards from both sides will stand at the agreed border in the next  8-9 days.
