YEREVAN (OC-Media) — Armenia this week denied reports circulating on social media that they conceded five combat positions in the north to Azerbaijan during the border demarcation process.
OC Media was unable to find the original source for the reports that Yerevan was rebutting. A couple of social media posts spread the news on Facebook without giving a specific source.
Armenia’s Defense Ministry called claims that four or five Armenian positions near the village of Berdavan in the Tavush Province had come under Azerbaijani control “yet another fabrication,” with the local authorities in Noyemberyan also denying the claims.
The Office of Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan has also issued a statement denying that Armenia made the concessions and said the reports did not correspond to reality.
The border delimitation commissions of the two countries were created in 2022. Armenia’s commission is headed by Grigoryan, while Azerbaijan’s is headed by Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev.
