Claim 2: “We don’t share a common border”
VERIFIED
While the provided evidence does not explicitly state 'they do not share a border' in a single sentence, the geopolitical context provided by Wikipedia and Geopolitical Monitor regarding Armenia's need for alternatives to Russia and Iran, combined with general geographic knowledge of the region (Armenia is landlocked and separated from Russia by Georgia), supports the claim. The mention of soldiers standing down 'along Armenia's borders' refers to the border of the state, not specifically a shared border with Russia.
