There is no mandate and contract for the presence of Russian border guards. Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during the Parliament-Government question-and-answer session, answering the question of Anna Grigoryan, deputy of the 'Hayastan' (Armenia) faction, what is the mandate of the Russian border guard troops in Nerkin Hand.
"And if this means that the Russian border guards cannot perform any security function there, it is assumed that appropriate consequences should be drawn from this," said Nikol Pashinyan.
