In an interview with a Finnish news agency, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan noted progress in the process of delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. According to him, this is positive news in the process of normalization of relations with Azerbaijan.

“There is a border and we know where it is. It is defined by the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991, signed by the former Soviet republics, to which administrative borders turned into state borders. Of course, the commissions of the two countries should work together on further delimitation and clear demarcation”.

Minister Mirzoyan, labeling the demarcation of the border as a guarantee of future stability, said, “As far as any guarantees are possible nowadays, having a clearly delineated border is a very strong mechanism”.

In the context of the issue of opening communications, Minister Mirzoyan noted that Armenia and Azerbaijan can come to solutions that will be acceptable to both sides.

“We can organize transit of Armenian goods through the territory of Azerbaijan and vice versa, Azerbaijani goods through the territory of Armenia. At the first stage we can resume railway transit and gradually expand it,” he said.
