Baku/17.06.23/Turan: On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan sent a proposal to Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev to hold a meeting of commissions on the delimitation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This was reported by the press service of the Armenian government.
The purpose of such a meeting is "discussion of current problematic issues that cause tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border."
The location of the meeting has not been announced. Prior to this, meetings between Grigoryan and Mustafayev were held in Moscow.
It should be noted that skirmishes have been taking place on various parts of the border for several days. The situation escalated sharply after an Azerbaijani border guard was wounded by shots from the Armenian side. This happened on 15 of June when the border guards were setting up the Azerbaijani flag at the entrance to the bridge, where the Lachin border checkpoint is located. -0-
