The Armenian Border Service can now freely carry out border control without the help of the Russians.
The Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan confirmed that the Armenian side approached Russia regarding the independent implementation of border control at the Yerevan Zvartnots airport. He said this in a press conference on Tuesday, March 12.
“The border troops of Armenia sent a letter to the Russian Border Troops in Armenia, thanking them for their service at the airport and ensuring security, enforcement of border control, for assistance and services since the freedom,” Pashinyan said.
According to him, the Armenian side informed that since the state institutions in Armenia are developing, the Armenian border service at the Zvartnots airport, with the help of the Russian side, already has enough experience and capabilities, “they can independently carry out border control without the help of the Russian side.”
Let’s recall that in February the media reported that Russian border guards will soon be removed from the Yerevan Zvartnots airport. This is called a “political decision.” The deployment of Russian border guards in Zvartnok is regulated not by an intergovernmental agreement, but by a document signed by the National Security Service of Armenia and the FSB of Russia.
And in March it became known that Armenia informed Russia of its intention to withdraw Russian border guards from the Zvartnots airport. The Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan said this.
