Russia has completed the withdrawal of its border guards from Armenia’s sole border crossing with Iran, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian announced on Monday.

“Starting today, only the Border Guard Troops of the Republic of Armenia will carry out border control at the Agarak border crossing point on the Armenia-Iran state border,” Pashinian wrote on Facebook. He thanked the Russian border guards for their decades-long service there.
