The Armenian government has allocated funds for the construction of
a protective wall at the border with Azerbaijan.
The wall will be built in the Armenian village of Chinari in the
Tavush region, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Territorial
Administration Armen Gevorgyan said at a government meeting Sept. 11,
news.am. website reported.
"The wall will be built on certain sections of the border," he said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
