At the meeting in Brussels, a decision was made to set up, by the end of April, a bilateral commission on delimitation of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the government of Armenia—and speaking about the results of his meeting in Brussels Wednesday with European Council President Charles Michel and Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev.
"That commission will have a double mandate. The first is the [border] demarcation work itself, the second is ensuring security and stability along the border. Discussions on this topic—including mediated by Russia—have been going on for about a year, and in the end we came to such a compromise decision.
You know that there are territories of Armenia that are under the control of Azerbaijan, there are territories of Azerbaijan that are under the control of Armenia, and these issues must be resolved as a result of negotiations—naturally, on the basis of de jure substantiated protocols, facts of legal significance. Russia, the European Union have expressed readiness to provide assistance to the delimitation and demarcation work, and we shall move forward in this regard," Pashinyan added.
According to him, Armenia's position is that there is a de jure border with Azerbaijan, that border is the boundary existing in Soviet times, the demarcation work should start with this record, and there is a need to try to find solutions by taking parallel measures to ensure security and stability.
