Armenia, Azerbaijan agree to continue border delimitation, says Pashinyan

YEREVAN, Armenia (MNTV) — Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to continue the delimitation of their shared border from north to south, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced.

According to Armenian media cited by Caliber.Az, Pashinyan said the legal basis for the delimitation process had already been established.

“The Almaty Declaration was adopted as the primary guiding principle for delimitation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in accordance with the regulations on the joint activities of delimitation commissions signed in August 2024 and ratified in October,” Pashinyan said.

He explained that the agreement means the former administrative boundary between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan would serve as the basis for the internationally recognized state border between the two countries.

“This means that Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed that the existing boundary between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan should be re-registered as the state border between the two countries,” he said.

Pashinyan added that the delimitation process allows for mutually acceptable solutions in disputed areas under the agreed regulations.

The Armenian prime minister also said both sides had already published an agreement outlining the continuation of the process.

“We have an agreement that has already been published, stating that the delimitation will be carried out from north to south,” Pashinyan said. “Clearly, in the areas where delimitation has already taken place, the border must be fixed, and these processes should be conducted transparently within the logic of delimitation.”

Border delimitation has become one of the central issues in ongoing negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan following years of conflict over the Karabakh region.
