Azerbaijani forces to be withdrawn from Armenia’s sovereign territory through border delimitation, says Defense Minister

The Azerbaijani military forces currently deployed on parts of sovereign Armenian territory shall be withdrawn as a result of the border delimitation and demarcation process, Minister of Defense Suren Papikyan has said.

“This is the Government’s position, and it is the solution that will ensure long-term peace in our region,” Papikyan said at a press conference.

Armenia and Azerbaijan completed one section of the border delimitation in 2024 in the northeastern Tavush province.
