RA MFA responded to Bayramov: The Armenian side has no preconditions  for delimitation.  We are speaking about the arrangements

ArmInfo.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia reacted to the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov,  that "Yerevan's preconditions on the issue of beginning the  delimitation of the border are unacceptable for Baku."

Thus, press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Vahan  Hunanyan, answering the relevant question, stressed:

"I think there is some misunderstanding on the issue. The Armenian  side has no preconditions for delimitation. We are speaking about the  arrangements. The trilateral statement adopted by the Prime Minister  of the Republic of Armenia, the President of the Russian Federation  and the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Sochi on November  26 reads that the sides agreed to "undertake steps towards increasing  security and stability on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border and to take  the matter to the establishment of a bilateral delimitation and  demarcation commission." This arrangement was reiterated and an  agreement on the withdrawal of troops was reached on December 14  during a trilateral meeting of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan  in Brussels, mediated by the President of the European Council.  Accordingly the proposals of the Armenian side are not about  preconditions, but the implementation of the agreements reached. The  Republic of Armenia believes that the delimitation process should  launch soon, in accordance with the above-mentioned agreements,"  Hunanyan noted in response to the question of "Armenpress".

As ArmInfo previously reported, Foreign Minister of the Republic of  Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov, reacting to the words of Armenian Foreign  Minister Ararat Mirzoyan that Armenia, through the mediation of  Russia, had submitted to Azerbaijan a package of proposals aimed at  de-escalating the border situation, said that Azerbaijan is a  supporter of the start of the process of delimitation of the  Azerbaijani- Armenian border without any preconditions. At the same  time, he added that the delimitation of the borders between  Azerbaijan and Armenia is considered as an important element in the  normalization of relations between the two states.

According to the Azerbaijani minister, Baku is in favor of starting  this process without wasting time. At the same time, Bayramov stated,  that " putting forward of a number of preconditions for the start of  the process of delimitation by Yerevan is unacceptable."
