Armenia's Deputy Prime Minister reported on the progress of border demarcation with Azerbaijan.
The state commissions of Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on draft technical documentation that is essential for demarcating the border between the two countries.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 1, 2024, a meeting was held at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border between Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev, during which the parties agreed on the border delimitation regulations. On January 16, 2025, it was announced that Azerbaijan and Armenia had agreed on the sequence of border delimitation work: work will be carried out from north to south.
In April 2024, the state commissions of Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed to coordinate a section of the border along the line at the time of the collapse of the USSR, and in May of that year, they agreed on a protocol describing the sections of the border line between four villages on each side. Following this, Armenian and Azerbaijani border guards began guarding these sections. In the village of Kirants in the Tavush region, this sparked mass protests, but in August, local residents were satisfied with the compensation. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared the reports "Protests on the Border: What Discontent Are Residents of Armenian Villages" and "Villages of Discord: What Territories Are Disputed Between Armenia and Azerbaijan".
The state commissions of Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on a draft document on border demarcation work, Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan announced.
"We have agreed on a draft document that is important for further work. Essentially, it describes procedural matters. They are more technical in nature, but are still important, since we must continue to act in accordance with these documents,” Novosti-Armenia quoted him as saying on May 9.
Grigoryan clarified that the document will be public, but must be approved in both countries “in accordance with domestic procedures.”
Responding to a question about the timing of the demarcation completion, Grigoryan stated that “there are no new details yet.”
According to him, when the need arises to “specify the crossings [border] related to TRIPP, demarcation will be carried out separately in these areas. “I think this process will not take much time,” Grigoryan was quoted as saying in the publication.
As a reminder, Armenia and the United States are discussing two scenarios for granting the right to build the Trump Route project in Armenia: 99 and 49 years, while the land will remain the property of Armenia. Construction work is expected to begin in 2026, but the implementation of the project may require border delimitation.
On August 8, 2025, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a declaration on the cessation of hostilities at a meeting in Washington. US President Donald Trump stated that the key issue that prevented the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been resolved, and this is the issue of the Zangezur corridor. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "Trump Route" (TRIPP): transport corridor through Armenia".
