From January 1, 2025, Armenian border guards will fully take over the service at checkpoints on the border with Iran, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said in Istanbul, where a meeting of the "3+3" regional platform is taking place, reported from Armenian media. 

Mirzoyan thanked the Russian side for "many years of assistance in ensuring border security and service at checkpoints on the Armenian-Iranian border." 

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had previously agreed that from January 1, 2025, the protection of checkpoints on the Iranian-Armenian border, where Russian FSB border guards had been serving, will be carried out only by Armenian military personnel.
