Meeting on border demarcation to be held soon - Armenian Foreign Ministry

Baku/19.05.22/Turan: Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, who is in Brussels for a meeting of the EU-Armenia Partnership Council, has said that a meeting of the commissions on the demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border will be held in the near future.

"The first meeting on the demarcation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not taken place, but I can assure you that we will continue our discussions on the organization of this meeting. There are some technical details that the sides have to agree on and I hope the meeting will finally take place in the coming days or weeks," he told reporters.

"We have published our vision of the peace process, and we have stated from the very beginning that there is nothing unacceptable for the Armenian side in the points proposed by Azerbaijan; however, these points do not touch upon the entire agenda of the future peace agreement, the whole range of existing problems. In this regard it is important for us to discuss the issues of rights and security in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the status of Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.

"We believe that these negotiations on the peace agreement can continue within the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmanship. We have not yet heard a positive answer from Azerbaijan on those points, but every effort is being made to make those negotiations possible," Mirzoyan said.

Recall that the day before President Ilham Aliyev said that the Armenian side had disrupted two previously agreed meetings on the issue of border demarcation. -02D-
