PanARMENIAN.Net - Achieving progress in the process of delimitation and demarcation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border will enable the sides to make significant progress in the normalization of relations, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said in a statement published in response to questions from the media.

Moscow has stressed the need for the full implementation of the trilateral agreements enshrined in the statements of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia dated November 9, 2020, as well as January 11 and November 26, 2021.

"The launch of the delimitation and demarcation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, as well as the unblocking of transport and economic ties in the region are among priority tasks today. Achieving progress in these areas will make it possible to make significant progress in normalizing relations between Baku and Yerevan," a statement attributed to Lavrov said on Thursday, January 20.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow urges the sides to begin work on the delimitation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan as soon as possible.

"We are consistently making efforts to resolve the situation on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, where, unfortunately, incidents with the use of weapons occur from time to time, there are human casualties. It is necessary to form and launch the work of a bilateral commission on the delimitation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border as soon as possible. We are ready to provide Baku and Yerevan with consultative assistance in this process," the ministry stressed.
