Aysor, Armenia

Russia's proposal on resolution of the situation on Armenian-Azerbaijani border is acceptable for Armenia, Acting Vice Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan stated.

"On May 19 the Armenian side presented its position to the Russian colleagues in a written form. Nevertheless, the issue on clarification of the border posts on Armenian-Azerbaijani border may be discussed only after Azerbaijani military sub-divisions leave the territory of the Republic of Armenia," Grigoryan told Armenpress.

He stressed that in this context the Armenian side emphasized the importance of the return of captured Armenian servicemen.

"Armenia also confirms its proposal on mirror-way withdrawal of the forces, their return to places of permanent dislocation and then clarification of border posts," he noted.

Earlier Azeri PM Ali Asadov stated that Baku supports Moscow proposal on creation of trilateral commission on demarcation and delimitation of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border.
