Unfortunately, the military-political situation in our region continues to be tense. Nikol Pashinyan

Unfortunately, the military-political situation in our region continues to be tense. Azerbaijan's provocations and ambitions create new threats for our region, Armenia and Artsakh. In this context, first of all, I want to emphasize the key role, that Russia plays to ensure stability and security in our region. The joint grouping of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia and Russia and the Russian peacekeeping mission in Nagorno-Karabakh are of fundamental importance in ensuring peace and stability in the region. Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at the government session today.

Pashinyan stressed that he continues to think that Azerbaijan wants to disrupt the implementation of the trilateral agreements from November 9 and January 11, in particular, regarding the opening of communications in the region. As before, Armenia considers the opening of regional communications very important and a priority, and the Armenian side is ready to continue working in this direction. 

"We expect that Azerbaijan will fulfill its obligation to return POWs, hostages and other detainees as soon as possible. Since May 12 of this year Azerbaijan's violation of the Armenian border in the Sotk-Khoznavar section is unacceptable. We reaffirm our proposal to withdraw the units of both sides from the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at the Sotk-Khoznavar section, to resolve the crisis by deploying Russian border guards and/or international observers, which can create the necessary conditions for the delimitation and demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. We also reaffirm our earlier expressed readiness to resume peace talks," the Acting Prime Minister added.

Pashinyan stressed that peace and stability in the region have no alternative, and the Armenian government is committed to fulfilling the mandate received from the people of Armenia to open an era of peaceful development for Armenia, Artsakh and the region in general.
