Russian border guards left Yerevan\u2019s Zvartnots Airport last week, concluding their nearly 32-year presence. The first point of contact for many citizens and tourists arriving by air in Armenia, their exact duties and numbers were never formally announced. The 1992 agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia instead only refers to the Border Directorate of the Federal Security Service (FSB) ensuring the protection of the border with Turkiye and Iran. The Armenian National Security Service (NSS) only\u00a0briefly mentions\u00a0that the Russian Border Guard Service was stationed at Zvartnots alongside its own Border Guard Troops.<\/p>\n

\n

In lieu of a formal agreement, the decision to deploy at the airport had been made verbally. This explains why the Armenian Prime Minister simply announced in February that he had asked Moscow to withdraw them. Though Moscow had warned that this would cause \u201cirreparable damage\u201d to relations between the two countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan later agreed in May that they would leave by August 1. Their last day of service on July 31 was cordial, marked by a protocol signed by Edgar Hunanyan, Commander of Armenia\u2019s NSS Border Troops, and Roman Golubitsky, head of Russia\u2019s FSB Border Directorate in Armenia. Hunanyan thanked his Russian counterpart for over three decades of joint service. Golubitsky in turn expressed hope that the country\u2019s security \u201cwill be ensured at the same high level by our Armenian colleagues.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Putin\u2019s press secretary Dmitry Peskov further stated that Russian border guards would remain on the Iranian and Turkish borders as per the 1992 agreement. However, Pashinyan has requested the Russian Border Guard Service to leave the Azerbaijan border area. That had been solely, the responsibility of the Armenian Ministry of Defence until 2020 but Armenian guards had been temporarily and informally reinforced by Moscow after the 44-day war with Azerbaijan. The Russian stand-down has already happened in some locations and the NSS Border Guard Troops recently replaced the Armenian military on the border\u2019s newly\u00a0demarcated Tavush-Gazakh section\u00a0of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.<\/em><\/p>\n

For now, however, many in Armenia have welcomed the move, which some hope is just the start. \u201cThe next step in the process should be the withdrawal of Russian border guards from the Armenian-Iranian border,\u201d political scientist Areg Kochinyan told media. Such hopes might be premature, however. Four days after ending their deployment at the airport, local media remained unsure whether they will instead serve elsewhere in the country. Moreover, given that their presence on the border with Iran is determined by the same formal agreement that includes the border with Turkiye, that might not prove as straightforward as simply asking them to leave Zvartnots.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
