Border Conflict Between Armenia And Azerbaijan

View of the Holy Mother of God Church, a relic from the 7th Century nestled in Voskepar, Tavush Province, stands on the verge of the new border with Azerbaijan on May 04, 2024. As the border is redrawn, the church finds itself in close proximity to the dividing line. By April 29, the government had positioned 35 border markers along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, coinciding with ongoing demining efforts. Residents of border villages fear that border demarcation according to the Soviet-era plan and the 1991 Almaty Declaration will restrict their access to farmlands and complicate travel, with sections of roads falling under Azerbaijani jurisdiction.
