The armed forces of Azerbaijan, once again violating the obligations assumed by the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020, violated the line of contact in the Shushi-Lisagor sector established by the same document and ensured a certain positional advancement in the territory of the Republic of Artsakh. This is reported by Artsakh Information Center.

The authorities of the Republic of Artsakh immediately informed the command of the Russian peacekeeping forces about another gross violation of the provisions of the tripartite declaration, taking into account the mission and functions assumed by them in this document. The authorities expect the peacekeeping troops to take practical steps in order to eliminate the consequences of this violation and prevent new violations.

The false claim of the Azerbaijani side about the use of the Stepanakert-Ghaibalishen-Lisagor mountain road for the purpose of transporting ammunition is just a pretext for their next aggressive and destructive actions. On March 5, they attacked and killed three policemen on duty and injured another one with the same claim.

The authorities of Artsakh have stated several times that under the conditions of the blockade that started on December 12, 2022, this road is used for the organization of civil and urgent communication between the four communities of Stepanakert and Shushi region, which is carried out by high vehicles, taking into account the very difficult and dangerous terrain of the area.

And the existence and normal activity of the Defense Army does not pose any threat to anyone, as it is intended exclusively for self-defense, considering the real and immediate dangers and threats against the physical existence and security of the people of Artsakh.
