It was stated in the trilateral statement signed on November 9 between the Prime Minister of Armenia and the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan that the Karvachar Province of the Republic of Artsakh should come under the control of the Republic of Azerbaijan from November 15. Later, because of the lack of time to complete the process, the deadline was extended to November 25.

On the mentioned day, the Armenian units were withdrawn from the Karvachar Province, which, according to the provisions of the statement, passed to Azerbaijan, as a result of which, instead of the former border of Armenia with Artsakh, a border was formed between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Before the full and accurate demarcation of the mentioned section between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the gates were temporarily installed in order to stop the traffic to Karvachar and back.

Today, with the participation of the representatives of the Armed Forces of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, the demarcation activities with the use of special means (GPS) started. The part of the demarcation activities is being carried out in the section of the Sotk mine, which was a part of the Karvachar Province of the Republic of Artsakh.

The accurate and full demarcation is crucial to avoid disputes over ownership of this or that part of the border and possible further provocations. We should also add that the Armed Forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan will deploy their combat bases and carry out combat duty within the borders specified as a result of the demarcation.
