The Armenian side has appealed to withdraw temporary operational groups of Russian border guards from the line of demarcation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, director of the Federal Security Service Alexander Bortnikov said during the meeting in the Federation Council.
He noted that the relevant decision has already been made.
According to Bortnikov, Yerevan requested to withdraw temporary task forces from the borderline and to close the problem of presence in those areas, which were not legally defined in any way.
He also noted that the border checkpoint at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport will be closed soon.
At the same time, the Russian side was asked to continue guarding the border with Türkiye and Iran.
