Russia welcomes Baku and Yerevan’s decision to continue delimitation and demarcation of borders
Moscow has noted good progress on the issue of delimitation and demarcation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk told journalists on Wednesday. Russia welcomes the agreements between Yerevan and Baku to begin the delimitation and demarcation process, starting from the point where the borders of the two countries meet with Georgia, moving southward.
"Significant, good progress has been made. A part of the border has been delimited and demarcated. The deputy prime ministers of the two countries, Mher Grigoryan and Shahin Mustafayev, recently met and agreed to start the delimitation and demarcation from north to south," said the Russian deputy prime minister.
Speaking about the trilateral group of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan for regional settlement, he noted that no formal decision has been made to cease its work. "Formally, no one has ended it. Periodically, we discuss this issue, but not in a trilateral format, only bilaterally," the Russian deputy prime minister said.
