Stepanakert demands that Moscow and world deter Baku’s possible provocative actions

Stepanakert demands that Moscow and world deter Baku’s possible provocative actions

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Artsakh
made a statement, refuting Azerbaijan’s claims about the deployment of military
equipment.

“We draw the attention of international actors, and
especially the UN Security Council, to the fact that Azerbaijan is escalating
the situation just two days after the request of the Republic of Armenia to
convene an emergency session of the UN Security Council related to the
deteriorating humanitarian situation caused by the complete blockade imposed on
the civilian population of Artsakh by Azerbaijani authorities. It is nothing
but an attempt to distract the attention of international structures from the humanitarian
disaster provoked in the Republic of Artsakh by Azerbaijan’s illegal blocking
of the Lachin Corridor,” reads the statement. 

It is noted that due to the lack of efficient steps by the
international community, Azerbaijan continues to violate the provisions of the
Trilateral Statement of November 9, 2020, universal international legal norms,
and specific international legal acts related to the Lachin Corridor. 

The Artsakh Foreign Ministry urges all international actors,
and in particular, the Russian Peacekeeping Contingent, to immediately take
appropriate steps to deter the possible provocative actions of Azerbaijan.

“In the current situation, we consider it imperative to
convene an emergency session of the UN Security Council as soon as possible for
passing a decision on taking the necessary and efficient measures aimed at the
complete and unconditional unblocking of the Lachin Corridor,” reads the
statement.
