Since Russia had not yet rattified the border, the
tripoint is not yet defined and so they can only start restoring the EELV border
NEAR the tripoint.
And since they can only put a marker on land, the
physial restoration of the border can only happen NEAR the
tripoint.
Makes sence?

yes it does seem likely that the kudedi or kudepi is the
same as
the laykchne
in which case monument 1 stands between &
just above its
confluence with the pedetsi or pededze
however
the tripoint position itself
both the actual one if any & the
prospective one if any different
doesnt appear to be directly addressed in
this message at all
& evidently remains either unknown or a closely
held secret
& i would have been content to just continue to assume
that it
falls & will continue to fall at the thalweg junction
as
some believe the map really indicates anyway
according to an arcane
cartographical convention
despite the position of the vee point actually
shown on the west
or right bank of the pededze
but
your
informant does definitely indicate
that the 1990s border restoration began
near the tripoint
as he says
on the right coast
of the
pededze
now if the tripoint isnt really on the right coast aka west
bank
then why bother restoring the border on the west bank
so i
think this express detail
in conjunction with the fact that the vee point
is actually shown by
the map on the west bank
cartographic convention
notwithstanding
may well be most telling of its true location
actual as
well as prospective
