Description

Servicemen were seen inspecting vehicles on a country road in the village of Kyzyl-Gajili on Tuesday; one of four settlements which recently came under Azerbaijani control on the border with Armenia.

Last month, the two sides agreed to delineate the border in the Tavush region and transfer control of the four villages - Baganis Ayrum, Ashaghy-Askipara, Kheirimli, and Kyzyl-Gajili - to Azerbaijan.

At a rally in Yerevan earlier this month, Bagrat Galstanyan, head of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, stated that opposition factions were ready to initiate impeachment proceedings against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan due to the territorial concessions.

Pashinyan himself said that he would not comply with the protesters' demands to suspend the border delimitation process, warning that 'war will break out' if he did not continue.

The talks began at the conclusion of the long-running conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan retook control of the breakaway territory, a separatist area governed by ethnic Armenians, in September 2023.

It followed what Baku called a 'counter-terrorist operation' in the region, which Yerevan described as a 'large-scale aggression'. Subsequently, Nagorno-Karabakh's government said the self-declared republic would cease to exist by January 2024, while many ethnic Armenians left the area.
