Armenia and Azerbaijan move toward normalized relations as the first border marker is placed

Experts in Armenia and Azerbaijan have worked to distinguish boundaries and have placed the first border marker as the nations strive for a peace treaty after a six-week war in 2020.

Several days ago, Armenia and Azerbaijan reached an agreement over a stretch of border that would cut through four Armenian villages in the Tavush province, meaning that Armenia would cede some territory to Azerbaijan.

Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities on Tuesday announced that the first border marker was installed. It wasn’t immediately clear where exactly it was placed.
