Armenia moving step by step towards delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, May 5. /ARKA/. Armenia is moving step by step towards delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan, said Armenian NA Speaker Alen Simonyan.

"Currently, work is being carried out in this logic at the level of the relevant border delimitation commissions, purely technical discussions are taking place," Simonyan noted at a briefing on Monday.

He explained that there is no disagreement on the issue of border delimitation. "We have stated that this will be a section from Georgia to the Iranian border, based on the Alma-Ata Declaration, which is a very big victory for Armenia. This is our victory, and it should not be the subject of speculation on the part of Russia, the United States or France," Simonyan said.
