ArmInfo. Following the meeting of the Delimitation and Demarcation Commission, the departments were  instructed to identify problems that may arise as a result of these works and find solutions. Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Gnel Sanosyan told reporters during a briefing.

"All bodies must prepare properly in order to understand what  problems may arise, including with infrastructure. How close will  they be to the border, or will they cross the border, etc.", the  minister said.

To the remarks of journalists that people in Tavush region (where the  process of delimitation and demarcation should begin) are in a state  of uncertainty about their future fate, since there is no contact  with the government, Sanosyan noted that the uncertainty arises due  to the  spread of relevant news. He emphasized that what the Prime  Minister said in Tavush is more than clear, and that if decisions are  made, another meeting will be organized. "But since there are no  final decisions and changes, maybe there is no need for daily  meetings with government officials?" he asked, noting that a legal  process is currently underway.

When asked why the delimitation process begins from Tavush, and, for  example, not from the regions of Armenia where there are territories  occupied by Azerbaijanis, Sanosyan noted that there are lands in  Tavush that, according to this process, should be returned to  Armenia. According to the official, at this stage, the department  records problems that may arise. "There will be as many solutions as  there will be problems. I don't think there will be any unresolved  problems," Sanosyan noted.

When asked what should be done by those people  if after delimitation  and demarcation their houses pass into the territory controlled by  Azerbaijan, the head of the department noted that houses located  within the Republic of Armenia cannot pass in another territory after  demarcation and delimitation.

"The positive thing about the process of delimitation and demarcation  is that we will live in peaceful conditions, peace is at the core of  this process. This is being done to ensure that there are no disputes  between neighbors," the minister said. However, Sanosyan did not  answer the last question "are there any guarantees?" and hastened to  leave.

During a visit to Tavush region, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol  Pashchinyan said that the real process of delimitation and  demarcation can begin from Tavush, namely from the territory of  Baghanis-Berkaber villages.
