Armenia's prime minister says quick border demarcation needed to avoid new conflict with Azerbaijan

Armenia’s prime minister says the Caucasus nation needs to quickly delimit the border with neighboring Azerbaijan to avoid a new round of hostilities

Armenia's prime minister said Tuesday that the Caucasus nation needs to quickly delimitate the border with neighboring Azerbaijan to avoid a new round of hostilities. Speaking to residents of the village of Voskepar in the Tavush region on border with Azerbaijan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned that Armenia's refusal to delineate the border could trigger a new confrontation. “It would mean that a war could erupt by the end of the week,” Pashinyan said.

The hostilities have badly strained Russia-Armenia ties, with Armenian authorities accusing Russian peacekeepers who were deployed to Nagorno-Karabakh after the 2020 war of failing to stop September's onslaught by Azerbaijan. Moscow, which has a military base in Armenia, has rejected the accusations, arguing that its troops didn’t have a mandate to intervene.
