ArmInfo.The activities of the delimitation commissions established by Azerbaijan and Armenia, as previously envisaged, are aimed specifically at delimiting the state border of the two countries.
This was stated byhead of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan Leyla Abdullayeva, commenting on the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov that the situation with the village of Parukh will be considered in the context of the delimitation of the borders between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
" This process does not envisage consideration of any issues beyond the Azerbaijani – Armenian state border, including those related to the territories, where Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed.," she said. It should be noted that on June 9, at a press conference in Yerevan, when asked by ArmInfo about what steps the Russian side is taking to completely withdraw the Azerbaijani armed forces from the territories around the village of Parukh of Nagorno-Karabakh, Lavrov noted that the Russian military keep this issue as one of their priorities, which the Armenian partners are well aware of.
"There are already certain results in terms of de-escalation of the situation on the ground. And we have an understanding that within the framework of substantive work on delimitation that is already beginning, these issues will be considered and will certainly be resolved," the Russian minister said. It should be noted that on March the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, having violated the line of contact, invaded the village of Parukh in the Askeran region of Artsakh and tried to capture the strategic height of Karaglukh. These territories are in the zone of responsibility of Russian peacekeepers. The co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group called on Azerbaijan to restore the contact line of March 23. However, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to be at the Karaglukh height, as a result of which more than 400 people cannot return to their homes.
