The pulling out ceremony of Russian border guards is taking place at Zvartnots International Airport of Yerevan.

As of Thursday, there will no longer be Russian border guards at Zvartnots airport.

The initiative is from the Armenian side. On March 6, Armenia had sent an official letter to Russia regarding the termination of the activities of Russian border guards at Zvartnots airport

"The matter is of a working nature, not political or geopolitical," Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had told reporters on March 12 in this regard.

The interstate agreement on the status of the Russian border guard troops stationed in Armenia and the conditions of their activities was signed back on September 30, 1992 in Yerevan.
