ArmInfo.The Armenian authorities have no concerns that Azerbaijan will not ratify the schedule of the delimitation of the border with the Republic of Armenia. This was stated to journalists by RA Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan on October 21.
Discussions on the submitted document are to take place today in the RA National Assembly Committee on Foreign Relations. Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan will be the main speaker on the draft ratification of the "Regulation on joint activities of the Commission on the issues of delimitation of the state border and border security between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan and the State Commission on the delimitation of the state border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia", and the co-rapporteur will be the head of the commission Sargis Khandanyan.
"The process is going synchronously, I just don't know what stage the process is at in Azerbaijan. At the moment of signing the document, the logic itself suggests that it will be synchronous, but I have no fears that it will not be ratified by Azerbaijan," Grigoryan said.
On August 30, the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported that Yerevan and Baku had signed a regulation on the joint activities of the commissions for delimitation and demarcation of the state border. The regulation was adopted by the Armenian government at a meeting on September 5.
In particular, it provides for the organization of delimitation work, the adoption of relevant documents, the preparation of a protocol-description of the crossing of the state border, the preparation of a delimitation map of the appropriate scale, as well as the work of expert groups. It is also noted that the regulation and documents that will be adopted on its basis will supplement the legal basis for ensuring the full course of delimitation work. The regulation provides for the regulation of procedural issues between the two countries after the signing of the state border treaty. On September 26, the Constitutional Court recognized the Regulation as consistent with the Constitution.
