RA Foreign Minister: UK government`s call to its citizens does not  include tighter travel restrictions 

ArmInfo.The UK government's call to its citizens does not include tighter travel restrictions for visits to Armenia. This was stated by RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan during the government hour in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on January 22, in response to a question from Artur Khachatryan, a member of the National Assembly from the opposition faction "Armenia".

The deputy raised the issue of the  joint statement by the border delimitation commissions issued on  January 16 of this year, outlining the upcoming work. Just 24 hours  later, the UK government urged its citizens to stay away from the  5-kilometer border zone and avoid driving on the Noyemberyan-Ijevan  highway due to safety concerns in these areas. 

Despite  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's assurances that the Kirants  village area is  safe, British scientists and intelligence suggest  otherwise, Khachatryan noted. He mentioned that last October, the  Armenian side proposed specific directions for border delimitation to  Azerbaijan. In this regard, he inquired about  the specific  directions  being discussed. In response, the head of the RA Foreign  Ministry called for a detailed study of the UK government's  recommendations to its citizens. "In reality, the situation is quite  the opposite, there has been a softening of these recommendations  concerning Armenia. Emotions and passions on this issue have  absolutely nothing to do with reality, as the current document  doesn't mention the threat of terrorism, unlike previous  recommendations. Of course, the Armenian authorities are free to  agree or disagree with these recommendations." Regarding the process  of border delimitation, as the minister emphasized, this issue will  also be addressed in due time.
