Minister Jeyhun Bayramov stressed the importance of resolving tensions on the border issue, resolving existing differences through negotiations, and expressed support for the proposal of the Republic of Azerbaijan to establish a tripartite commission on delimitation and demarcation of the border.

As for the six Armenian servicemen detained during the provocation to mine roads in Azerbaijan, it was stressed that such provocations by the Armenian side are unacceptable at a time when Azerbaijan is clearing numerous mines buried by Armenia in the liberated areas and posing a direct threat to human life.
