Border delimitation supposed to settle problems on other border  sections

ArmInfo. The draft statement proposed by the parliamentary opposition on the delimitation and 

demarcation of the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan does not provide for either the beginning or the end of this process, Armenian NA Vice-Speaker Ruben Rubinyan stated.  

According to him, the opposition's argument for delimiting and 

demarcating borders is the front line, which is formed using military 

force. "On this line, the armies of the two warring states are trying 

to advance as far as possible, after which they stop due to the 

conclusion of a ceasefire agreement. Based on this, it is not 

difficult to conclude who has aggressive intentions - Armenia or 

Azerbaijan. Our country ", it is obvious that there are no such 

sentiments. Unlike state borders, which are a legal concept, the 

front line is a relative concept," the vice speaker said, adding that 

the opposition is trying to destroy the logic of the Alma-Ata 

Declaration with its steps.

Rubinyan emphasized that the delimitation and demarcation of borders 

is also intended to resolve problems in other areas, including in the 

area of the settlements of Sev Lich, Sotka, Nerkin Khanda, Berkaberd, 

Jermuk, and other occupied sovereign territories of the country. 

Rubinyan noted that in the event of hostilities, the allies that the 

opposition clings to will not help. "Your allies will not fulfill 

their obligations, and in the end what has happened many times will 

happen," the vice speaker emphasized.

In response, the secretary of the opposition faction "Armenia" 

Artsvik Minasyan saw Russia and Iran in the concept of "allies" to 

which the vice speaker was hinting. "Yes, our allies are Russia and 

Iran, and yours are Turkey and Azerbaijan," Minasyan noted, accusing 

the ruling force of trying to maintain power at any cost, including 

through territorial concessions.

On April 19, the Armenian Foreign Ministry, following the results of 

the eighth meeting of state commissions, announced that Armenia and 

Azerbaijan agreed to begin delimitation from the Tavush region and by 

July 1 to complete the approval of the draft regulations on the joint 

activities of delimitation commissions. Since the evening of the same 

day, residents of the border villages of Tavush, dissatisfied with 

the agreements between Yerevan and Baku, have been holding protests.
