YEREVAN. – Within the framework of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), an Armenian MOD inspection team conducted an inspection of a “declared area” within the territory of Turkey, from November 26 to Monday.  

The Turkish Armed Forces’ 14th Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Kars and 5th Border Regiment in Igdir were inspected, MOD press service informs.    

The inspection team held briefings with the commanders of these Turkish military units. And during the actual inspection, the geographic coordinates and diagrams—which these military units had declared—were verified, the quantity of the military equipment and armaments—which CFE limits—and their presence in the inspected areas were checked, and the border zones and general territories of the said military units were monitored.

As a result of the inspection, no CFE violations were recorded from the Turkish side.
