ArmInfo. The National Security Service of Armenia reports on the advancement of the Azerbaijani side in five places on the section of the road connecting the territory of the Republic of Armenia with the Lachin corridor.
In particular, according to the message of the NSS: <According to the agreements reached in August 2022, from April 1, 2023 the Lachin corridor connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia should end at the Kornidzor bridge. From April 1, the route connecting the territory of the Republic of Armenia to the Lachin Corridor will pass through the Kornidzor-Tegh route, only through the territory of the Republic of Armenia. After August 2022, a part of the road connecting the Lachin Corridor to the Republic of Armenia again passed through the territory of Azerbaijan after the Kornidzor Bridge. That part of the road along its entire length and its adjacent territory was controlled by the Russian peacekeeping forces.
According to the agreements reached yesterday between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the border guards of the two countries were to be deployed on both sides of the border along the aforementioned section in the last days of March. Map misreadings have appeared during deployment. In some places, the Azerbaijani side, without waiting for pre-arranged adjustments, started to position itself and carried out engineering works. According to the Armenian side, there are five such points, where the Azerbaijani side is located 100 to 300 meters further from the border. It has now been agreed that cartographers from both sides will correct the situation. The Armenian side approaches the situation with the logic of not allowing escalation.
The Armenian army did not have positions in the area in question, because positions are not located on the border line, but on the nearby strategic heights. And the protection of that part of the border should be transferred to the border guard troops, according to the agreement mentioned above."
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Artsakh, onight, the Azerbaijani armed forces blocked the Goris-Stepanakert highway between Aghavno and Tegh villages.. Today, commenting on the information about the advance of the Azerbaijani troops, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that there were no positional changes."
