Representatives of Yerevan and Baku signed a border delimitation protocol on May 15, 2024 that recreated the old border between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan, based on a 1976 map. The border will separate the Armenian settlements of Baghanis, Voskepar, Kirants and Berkaber in the Tavush province from the abandoned Azerbaijani villages named Bağanis Ayrum, Aşağı Əskipara, Xeyrimli, and Qızılhacılı.

Armenia and Azerbaijan also pledged to continue the delimitation process on other sections of the border according to the 1991 Alma-Ata Protocol and to record this in a document that would regulate the joint activities of the committees, expected to be drafted before July 1.
