Iran welcomes Azerbaijan-Armenia border delimitation agreement

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanani has said that Iran welcomes the agreements reached at the meeting of the delimitation commission between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Continuation of the efforts of the two countries to resolve border issues by peaceful methods within the framework of mutual respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity is necessary for the establishment of lasting peace and stability in the South Caucasus, Trend reports, citing Kanani.

On April 19, 2024, the eighth meeting of the State Commission on Delimitation of the State Border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia and the Commission on Delimitation of the State Border and Border Security between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan was held on the border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia.

At the initial stage of the delimitation process, the sides previously agreed on individual sections of the border line stretching directly between the settlements of Baghanis (Armenia) - Baghanis Ayrim (Azerbaijan), Voskepar (Armenia) - Ashagi Askipara (Azerbaijan), Kirants (Armenia) - Kheyrimli (Azerbaijan) and Berkaber (Armenia) - Gizilhajili (Azerbaijan) to bring them into line with the legally valid inter-republican border that existed within the Soviet Union at the moment of its collapse.
