Community heads of Armenia's border villages to participate in demarcation process
Nikol Pashinyan pointed out that the demarcation process also involves risks, but they are manageable, after which "Armenia will become ten times stronger"
The Armenian National Assembly held an extraordinary closed-door session, requested by opposition parties, to discuss border demarcation procedures in the disputed territories. Baku now insists on the 'restitution' of eight villages in the Tavowš region, while Yerevan claims that Azerbaijan has occupied 'all or part' of 31 of its localities.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian has again signaled Yerevan’s readiness to withdraw from four formerly Azeri-populated villages at the northeastern border with Azerbaijan that used to be part of Soviet Azerbaijan, but have been under Armenia’s military control since the early 1990s.
