Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the situation is explosive in Yerevan, while Azerbaijan mobilized its forces on the border with Armenia and on the dividing line with Karabakh.

This came within Pashinyan’s statements at the government meeting, where he continued: “Over the past week, the military-political situation in our region has deteriorated significantly. The reason is that Azerbaijan has mobilized forces along the line of contact between Karabakh and the Armenian-Azerbaijani border for several days. The anti-Armenian statements incite On this matter, hatred has become more intense in the Azerbaijani press and on propaganda platforms.”

According to Pashinyan, the situation “necessitates the international community and member states of the UN Security Council to take serious measures to prevent a new explosion in the region.”

He added: “Armenia is ready and willing to sign an agreement on peace and settlement of relations with Azerbaijan, and expresses its commitment to the peace agenda on the basis of the agreements in Brussels and Prague, as well as the tripartite statement of the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had earlier expressed Moscow’s support for respecting and implementing all tripartite agreements between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, and emphasized Russia’s vital interest in peace and stability in the South Caucasus.
