Russian Border Guards Begin Withdrawal from Syunik

Russian border guards have started their withdrawal from the Syunik region. According to Sputnik Armenia, they have begun to close their mobile deployment points located between Goris and Jankateni.

This deployment has been in place since December 2020, following the 44-day war. Previously, Hayk Konjoryan, the head of the 'Civil Contract' faction in the Armenian National Assembly, reported on the withdrawal of Russian military personnel from the regions of Gegharkunik, Syunik, Tavush, Ararat, and Vayots Dzor.

In turn, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, stated that the withdrawal of Russian military and border guards from several regions of Armenia was agreed upon during the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in Moscow on May 8.
