The Armenian and Azerbaijani border posts near Syunik Despite Azerbaijan’s overt breach of Armenia’s sovereign borders, official Moscow on Tuesday continued to advance its own agenda by claiming that the delimitation of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border would be a “long term solution” in de-escalation of tensions between the two foes. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry claimed that it is “closely monitoring the situation related to the border incident between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” adding that Russia “supports Yerevan and Baku in reducing the tensions.” Late last week, Azerbaijani forces breached Armenia’s border and advanced several kilometers into the Syunik and Gegharkunik provinces. Since then a reported 250 Azerbaijani soldiers have decamped around the Sev Lidj (Black Lake) region in Syunik. Weekend negotiations were stalled and officials from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia are set to resume talks on Wednesday.
