YEREVAN, JULY 29, ARMENPRESS. On July 29, at around 08:40, the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces again opened fire at the Armenian positions located in the Gegharkunik section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the defense ministry told Armenpress.

A short shootout took place. The Azerbaijani fire was stopped after the respective actions of the Armenian side.

Armenia urges Russia to deploy troops along border with Azerbaijan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has urged Russia to deploy its forces along the length of Armenia's border with Azerbaijan after a rise in tensions between Yerevan and Baku.

Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other earlier on Thursday of flouting a Russian-backed ceasefire that both sides had accepted the previous day to halt deadly clashes over their joint border, which Yerevan wants to be demarcated.

"Given the current situation, I think it makes sense to consider the question of stationing outposts of Russian border guards along the entire length of the Armenian-Azeri border," Pashinyan said during a government meeting.

He said Yerevan was preparing to discuss the proposal with Moscow and that the move would allow work to be carried out on the demarcation and delimitation of the border without the risk of military clashes.

The Kremlin said it was in close contact with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, but declined comment on Pashinyan's proposal.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, two former Soviet republics, are watched closely abroad for any threat to Azeri gas and oil pipelines and the risk of regional powers Turkey and Russia being dragged into any conflict.

Armenia's defence ministry said Azeri troops had opened fire on Armenian positions at the Gegharkunik section of the border early on Thursday, prompting Armenia to return fire. It later said the situation was calm.

Azerbaijan's defence ministry said Armenian forces had fired with machine guns and grenade launchers towards a village in the Kelbajar region and had thrown hand grenades. It said its forces returned fire.

The ceasefire was called on Wednesday after one of the deadliest border incidents since last year's six-week war between ethnic Armenian forces and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region and surrounding areas.

Armenia said three of its soldiers were killed and four wounded. Azerbaijan said two of its soldiers were wounded.

In fighting from last September to November, Azeri troops drove ethnic Armenian forces out of swathes of territory they had controlled since the 1990s in and around Nagorno-Karabakh before Russia brokered a ceasefire.

A border dispute has since flared up, with Armenia and Azerbaijan accusing each other of incursions into each others' territory, highlighting the fragility of the ceasefire.

Russian MFA: Immediate launch of activities for demarcation of Armenia-Azerbaijan border may ensure de-escalation

The Russian Federation, which has close ties with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, pays special attention to the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and, of course, the current situation in Nagorno-Karabakh where Russian peacekeepers are deployed. This is what Spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova said today, adding the following:

“Of course, Russia is concerned over any manifestation of growth of escalation in certain sectors of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border which is having an extremely negative impact on the situation in the region and isn’t contributing to the regulation of dialogue between Yerevan and Baku. Our stance is clear — the border incidents need to be resolved only through politics and diplomacy. It is necessary to work hard and in a coordinated manner to seek mutually acceptable concessions, and Russia is disposing both sides to that.”

According to Zakharova, Moscowis certain that “only through the immediate launch of works for demarcation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the successive delimitation will it be possible to ensure sustainable de-escalation”. “Russia is ready to support these efforts through the provision of cartographical information. The Russian side has prepared several documents that may help make the discussions constructive,” she said.

Zakharova recalled that regional stability was the main issue on the agenda of the negotiations that the President of Russia held with the acting Prime Minister of Armenia on July 7 and with the President of Azerbaijan on July 20. “In spite of the complication and scale of the issues in the region the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia affirmed their determination to continue their joint efforts to find optimal solutions and stayed resolutely loyal to the consistent and comprehensive implementation of the agreements reached on November 9, 2020 and January 11, 2021. Russia mentions, with satisfaction, that the task force — set up in accordance with the agreements of the three countries’ leaders — has held several substantive discussions and earmarked the actions required for restoration of transport and economic links. We hope the group resumes sessions soon,” Zakharova said.

According to her, the Russian side continues to make significant contributions to the maintenance of stability and establishment of peace in Nagorno-Karabakh and is regulating the urgent humanitarian issues, including the return of prisoners of war and the return/exchange of the remains of deceased servicemen.

The Artsakh National Security Service (NSS) on Monday confirmed the reports that the people of Artsakh get phone calls from Azerbaijan and Turkey.

"After the call of the National Security Service of the Republic of Artsakh, phone calls made to the citizens of Artsakh by the citizens of Azerbaijan and Turkey have been registered by the NSS in recent days,” the law enforcement agency said in a statement.

The NSS once again urges people to refrain from answering such suspicious phone calls and to apply to the law enforcement agency immediately.

“At the same time, we urge you to refrain from anti-national practices, not to manipulate and not to discuss on open platforms such reports, which are aimed at creating a climate of fear and uncertainty about the future among the people of Artsakh,” reads the statement.

Combatting academic misconduct – peer exchange between Armenia and Montenegro – Newsroom

A peer exchange meeting on best practices in combatting academic misconduct and fraud in education was organized between the National Information Centre on Academic Recognition and Mobility of Armenia and the Joint EU/CoE Project “Quality education for all in Montenegro”.

During the meeting, the participants exchanged information about their country contexts, activities and methodologies, key achievements, challenges and factors of success in ensuring ethics and integrity in education in a sustainable way.

In this context, the following good practices were among the ones discussed by the participants:

  • Tackling academic misconduct and education fraud requires a long term, comprehensive approach involving all relevant stakeholders – ministries, education institutions, administrators, teaching staff, but also students and the wider community. It is a sensitive topic in any country and it requires the development of a broadly shared culture of ethics and integrity in education.
  • It is very important to strengthen the legislative and policy framework for tacking academic misconduct, as it has been done in Montenegro through the Law on Academic Integrity, a key achievement of the Joint EU/CoE Project “Strengthen integrity and combat corruption in higher education” (2016-2019). However, it is equally important to ensure that the policy and legislative framework is enforced and its implementation is monitored by a specialized body. For example, in Montenegro, an Ethical Committee has been established to report annually on the implementation of the law and the current Council of Europe project is supporting its activity.
  • The diploma supplement or a higher education achievement report is an effective tool to reduce pressure on students as a key incentive for committing education fraud. The diploma supplement has proven its effectiveness in many contexts, such as in Wales, according to Professor Michael Draper of Swansea University who attended the meeting as a Council of Europe expert. However, for such a tool to have a real impact on graduates’ ability to secure employment, education institutions need to ensure its quality and employers need to be better informed of its purpose.

As the National Information Centre on Academic Recognition and Mobility of Armenia embarks on a Council of Europe supported project to carry out a study and develop a handbook on “Developments and Detection of Education Fraud: Risks and Responses in the COVID-19 Age”, more exchanges between the two projects will be organized to ensure that learning from each other and good practices are shared further.

The event was organised by the Education Department within the framework of the joint European Union/Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022” and its action on “Quality education for all” in Montenegro.

Transcaucasian Trail: Thru-hiking route across Armenia launched

Ani Tigranian
Public Radio of Armenia

The Armenian section of the Transcaucasian Trial has been launched.

For the past five years, the team has been chipping away at the monumental task of creating a 3,000-kilometer trail network across the Caucasus. It’s been slow work finding old trails, building new trails, and creating the resources necessary to help hikers have a safe and enjoyable experience.

This marks the first country section in the international TCT. The Armenia trail will connect to Georgia, eventually taking hikers all the way to the Greater Caucasus. 

Stretching 832 kilometers from Lake Arpi in the north to the town of Meghri in the south, the Armenia route is part ancient trails, part newly built trails, part Soviet jeep tracks, and part open terrain. It incorporates historic routes between villages and cultural monuments that have been explored and mapped by our team in Armenia, as well as newly constructed trails that connect these historic routes together. 

Together, it’s a preliminary route that experienced and self-sufficient hikers should be able to use to traverse the length of Armenia.

The Transcaucasian Trail has put together a small team to test the route, including representatives from the Transcaucasian Trail Association, the TCT NGO of Armenia, the TCT NGO of Georgia, and the wide network of hikers and partner organizations who have helped bring the trail to life. 

Tom Allen, Roffi Petrossian, and Meagan Neal– are aiming to thru-hike the whole route. Along the way, they will be joined at various points by other members of the TCT community.  

The 40 days of self-supported hiking started at Lake Arpi on Monday. From there the team will head south through some of Armenia’s most spectacular cultural and natural landscape, traveling through 6 regions of Armenia, walking an average of 25km a day and camping along the way.

“We’ll climb some of Armenia’s most iconic peaks, including Azhdahak and Khustup. We’ll walk beside the gorgeous lakes of Arpi and Sevan. We’ll explore the national parks of Dilijan and Arevi and the canyons and gorges of Dzoraget and Debed. We’ll visit the dramatically positioned Noravank and Tatev monasteries, pass through the Yeghegis and Arax valleys, and follow the Arpa and Vorotan rivers. And we’ll conclude the journey in Meghri, Armenia’s southern gateway,” Meagan Neal said.
