EU monitors patrol Armenian-Azerbaijani border

PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) has released a statement reaffirming its continued observation activities along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border from the Armenian side.

"Patrol teams of the EU Mission are constantly monitoring the Armenian-Azerbaijani border from the Armenian side, supporting regional stability," the statement reads.

On March 13, Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it had accepted Azerbaijan's proposals concerning two previously unresolved articles, and that the peace agreement was now ready for signing. Armenia noted it is prepared to initiate consultations regarding the timing and venue for the signing. However, Baku has introduced new preconditions and declared that it is premature to discuss dates for the meeting.

The draft peace agreement consists of 17 articles, 15 of which had been agreed upon earlier. One of the remaining unresolved points involved mutual renunciation of international claims, while the other concerned barring third-country representatives from being deployed at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.
