The work procedure describes how the two countries’ commissions will organize working sessions and meetings. Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan told this to reporters Friday within the framework of the meeting of the Armenian-Russian intergovernmental commission—and referring to the work procedure—which was approved Thursday—of the border delimitation commissions of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
“You know that we have a border delimitation commission, and the Azerbaijani side [also] has such a commission. The logic of our work is that a [joint] meeting of [these] commissions is held. We considered it right to regulate the process of that work; in particular, when we meet, where we meet, how we draw up the minutes [of that meeting], in what language we speak, etc. We will speak in English or Russian, both are possible,” said Grigoryan.
Regarding the remark that it was noted in the aforesaid work procedure that a meeting can be held in a third country as well, the Armenian deputy PM reminded that something like this has already happened.
“We had a meeting in Brussels, and once in Moscow,” he said.
According to Mher Grigoryan, the Armenia-Azerbaijan border delimitation and demarcation process will take quite a long time because it is quite a complicated process.
“I cannot rule out that it is years of work. We imagine the [respective] work like this: During the meetings of the commissions, each of the parties presents on its part a map or part of a map, legal documents that have a description or some regulation of the border, and a discussion, an exchange of views about that document and that topographic map begins. Naturally, it should be done piece by piece,” said the Armenian deputy premier.
