Armenia parliament ratifies Azerbaijan border delimitation regulation

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian parliament has ratified the regulation on joint activity of the Armenia-Azerbaijan commissions on delimitation and border security, Armenpress reports.

The regulation was signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan in late August 2024.

The regulation was ratified by the Armenian parliament during the plenary session on Wednesday with 67 votes in favor. Only the ruling Civil Contract party participated in the vote. The two opposition factions, Hayastan and Pativ Unem, boycotted the debates and vote.

On September 26, Armenia’s Constitutional Court gave the green light for parliamentary ratification of a recent agreement with Azerbaijan supposedly laying out the principles of delineating the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The deal signed on August 30 involves “regulations” for joint activities of Armenian and Azerbaijani government commissions dealing with the border delimitation process. It says that the process will be based on the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration in which newly independent ex-Soviet republics recognized each other’s Soviet-era borders.
