BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 25. Citizens in Armenia blocked several highways in protest against the delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
According to the information, the Tigranashen (Kyarki) segment of the Yerevan-Meghri highway, along with the Martuni section of the Yerevan-Sevan highway, were obstructed. Additionally, the Yerevan-Gyumri highway faced blockades in Shirak province, while a portion of the Armenian-Georgian highway was blocked in Bagratashen.
To note, a few days ago, a group of Armenians protesting against the border demarcation process was detained in Tavush. The detainees were taken to the Noyemberyan police station. All of them, except for political scientist Suren Petrosyan, were later released.
On April 22, five members of the Armenian organization Combat Brotherhood were detained due to the Tavush incidents.
The eighth meeting of the State Commission on State Border Delimitation between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the Commission on State Border Delimitation and Border Security between Armenia and Azerbaijan was held on April 19, 2024.
The sides tentatively agreed on the passage of certain segments of the border line directly between the settlements of Baganis (Armenia) - Baganys Ayrim (Azerbaijan), Voskepar (Armenia) - Ashagy Askipara (Azerbaijan), Kirants (Armenia) – Kheyrimli (Azerbaijan), and Berkaber (Armenia) - Gyzylhajily (Azerbaijan) to bring them in line with the legally justified inter-republican border that existed within the Soviet Union at the time of its collapse.
