Armenia`s vice-premier on next step in Armenia-Azerbaijan border  delimitation 

ArmInfo. Chairman of the Armenian commission on border delimitation with Azerbaijan, Deputy  Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan states that there is currently no  agreement on the date, place and format of the next meeting. At the  same time, the Deputy Prime Minister assured, this does not mean that  the process has reached a dead end.

In particular, on December 9, in an interview with Faktor.tv,  answering the question about the stage of the process of delimitation  of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the Armenian Deputy Prime  Minister stated that the parties are preparing for the next meeting.

"There is no agreement on a specific date," he said.

At the same time, he refrained from answering the question about  which section, after Tavush, the next stage of border delimitation  will be held.

"I cannot say, these issues are currently being discussed," Grigoryan  noted, disagreeing with the assessment that the process has reached a  dead end.

At the same time, he admitted that different versions were discussed  at the last meeting. "I can't say more.  There is an agreement in the  public sphere to limit ourselves to officially published  information," he explained.

Mher Grigoryan also answered vaguely to a clarifying question from a  journalist, whether this meant that no new meetings were planned for  this year.

"I can't say. The date of the meeting is determined by a bilateral  agreement. At the moment, there is no agreement on the date yet," he  said.

On April 19 of this year, the state commissions of the two countries  agreed on the delimitation of the border in the Tavush region of  Armenia on a section of approximately 6 km (in the area of the  villages of Kirants, Berkaber, Voskepar and Baganis). On May 15, the  Deputy Prime Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan Mher Grigoryan and  Shahin Mustafayev signed a protocol-description on the immediate  delimitation of the border between a number of settlements in Tavush  based on 1976 maps. After this, four villages were effectively  transferred under the control of Azerbaijan.

On November 22, in an interview with the Public Television of  Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that at the next  meeting, the Armenian and Azerbaijani state border commissions will  select a new section for delimitation. This was stated in an  interview with the Public Television of Armenia by the Prime Minister  of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. He recalled that during the last meeting  in October, the commissions agreed to submit proposals on a mutual  basis on which sections of the border to continue delimitation. The  Armenian side presented its approaches, the Azerbaijani side  presented its own. At the next meeting, it will be decided where the  process will be continued, the Prime Minister noted.
