Agreement Reached for Delimitation by Year-End, Says Armen Grigoryan

An agreement has been reached for delimitation to take place by the end of the year. This was stated by Secretary of the Security Council Armen Grigoryan during a broadcast on Public TV.

“During the meeting in Washington with Sullivan and Hajiyev, we discussed the timeline for reaching a peace treaty, that is, to have a treaty by the end of the year. The issue of delimitation was also addressed, and an agreement has been reached that delimitation will occur by the end of the year. The peace treaty and delimitation are interconnected.

Armenia has concerns that Azerbaijan might use the so-called non-delimited border as a pretext to launch an attack on Armenia after the peace treaty. The withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops from the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia remains on the agenda and was also discussed,” he said.

“There has been a delimitation process in 1929; there was a delimitation of the Armenian and Azerbaijani borders. It remains to reach mutual agreement that we accept this as a basis and ensure the territory of the Republic of Armenia, which is 29,800 square kilometers,” Armen Grigoryan noted.
