Delimitation of Armenian-Georgian frontier does not progress promptly enough, as the sides hold contrary opinions, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told NEWS.am. According to him, the challenge today is to conciliate both viewpoints. “The last meeting with Georgian colleagues aimed at seeking the ways of convergence,” he said, adding the tentatively agreed frontier is marked where there are no disputes. However, Kocharyan underlined that “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.”

Speaking of the probable terms of Armenian-Georgian commission regular meeting on delimitation issues, the Deputy Minister stated that there is a point in meeting whenever a go-ahead is there. He said that experts still have much work to do before the meeting.

At the October 5 bilateral meeting of RA Deputy FM Shavarsh Kocharyan and his Georgian counterpart David Jalagania in Tbilisi instructed Georgian and Armenian experts to make concrete proposals on agreement with undefined sectors of Armenian-Georgian border. The sides decided to intensify dialogue on achievement of the ultimate aim and convergence on harmonization of the border segments. Date and location of the next meeting will be agreed on through diplomatic channels.

Delimitation of Armenian-Georgian border should tackle the issues that emerged in the end of August, when Georgian frontiersmen advanced for several hundred meters to Armenian Bavra village (Shirak region). The issue on delimitation was also discussed by Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze in course of his visit to Armenia, September 5. Back then, the ministers signed a memorandum on exchange of land plots for diplomatic missions.
