The bilateral commission on delimitation and border security, as its name suggests, will have a dual mandate. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this Wednesday during the National Assembly debates on the execution of the 2021 program of the government of Armenia.

"The first is the actual [Armenia-Azerbaijan border] delimitation work; that is, the demarcation work. The second is to ensure security and stability along the border. This means that the commission will have some authority to monitor the border situation, as well as the opportunity to come up with a concrete proposal aimed at increasing the level of security and stability at the borders. If necessary, the international expert potential also can be engaged in this process.

I would also like to inform that we are currently working on the format and staff of the commission, and we should try to clarify the staff by April 30 at the latest. In the meantime, our relevant officials shall work with the Azerbaijani side and reach a common ground on this organizational issue," Pashinyan added.
