In the Vardenis district of Armenia, bordering the Kelbajar district of Azerbaijan, the patrols of Russian border troops appeared. According to HaqQin.az, the photo captured this fact has spread in social networks. Judging by the photo, two units belonging to the Russian military equipment owned by the border area, one of which is easily organized.
Recall, in recent months, the Armenian army often fascins the position of the Azerbaijani army, including in the Kelbajar direction, and resorts to a different kind of provocations.
was previously announced that one division of Russian border troops was located in the village of Askara (Vekartar) of the Tavush region located in the direction of the Gazakh district of Azerbaijan. According to the distributed Armenian side, the message in the village of Azatamut and other several villages of the Tavush region also prepare for the placement of Russian border guards.
Note that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan offered to place posts of Russian border troops along the entire border with Azerbaijan and declared the negotiations on this occasion. Official Moscow did not express publicly supported by Pashinian and encouraged the parties to begin negotiations on demarcation and delimitation of borders. At the same time, after the proposal of Pashinian, cases of the emergence of Russian border guards on the territories border with Azerbaijan are frequent. Most Armenian experts express the conviction that the dislocation on this section of the border of Russian border guards testifies to the preparation of the enclavement process engaged in the period of the first Karabakh war. According to experts, Russian border guards are designed to ensure the safety of Azerbaijani military personnel and civilians on the enclaves, which will be released soon.
In this situation, we can not talk about the direct implementation of Pashinian’s proposal. Since in the idea of the Armenian Prime Minister, Russian border guards should be lined up along the border line between the two countries. But this cannot happen without the consent of the Azerbaijani side, and most Russian experts also declare that the issue of placing the Russian military on the border depends not only from Moscow and Yerevan, but also from Baku.
Therefore, Russian border guards occupy positions not directly on the line of the border, but within the Armenian territories nearby to the border. And this can be substantiated by the framework of a bilateral agreement on military security between Armenia and Russia. And the Azerbaijani army continues to be on its positions along the state border.
