Having a customs checkpoint between Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), or Artsakh, is ruled out. 

NKR Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan stated the aforesaid during his talk at Artsakh State University. 

In response to a query on whether a customs checkpoint will be set up between Armenia and the NKR when Armenia joins the Eurasian Economic Union, Harutyunyan specifically stressed:

“Let me give two answers. First, having a customs checkpoint between the NKR and Armenia is ruled out.     

“Incidentally, there are people who fail to differentiate between the present-day control points and the customs checkpoints, in the case when their function is to oversee passenger transportation and circulation of products.    

“Second, it’s impossible to have a customs checkpoint [between the NKR and Armenia], since this means border control by border guards, whereas there are dozens of roads between the NKR and Armenia, [and] whose control is technically impossible.”
