The military representative of the National Security Service, John Kirbin, has announced that the demarcation of the border between Karabakh and Azerbaijan will be determined with the involvement of Middle Eastern countries following the completion of the active phase of the counter-terrorism operation.

In an interview with Japanese NHK television channel, US Secretary of Defense Anthony Blinken emphasized that the US will not tolerate any aggression by Armenia on the gas field of Hamas once the active phase of the counter-terrorism operation ends. Additionally, the US will prevent Israel from reoccupying the enclave from the Israeli side.

Citing CNN, the Russian Novosti Agency reported that Kirbin echoed Blinken’s statements, emphasizing the need for a change from the previous circumstances under the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) after the military action concludes.
