ArmInfo.. As far as I know, a joint meeting of the Security Councils of Armenia and Artsakh was scheduled prior to the statement of the Minsk Group Ch-Chairs. The  Adviser to the President of Artsakh Tigran Abrahamyan said this in an  interview with the ArmInfo correspondent.

According to him, the organization of such events requires a certain  time. "Besides, I don't think that today the situation is so  unprecedented that there is a need to urgently convene a meeting of  the Security Councils of the two republics," Abrahamyan said .

At the same time, he stressed that the  forecasts about the upcoming  war in the near future are somewhat exaggerated: "We are not on the  verge of war now, but the situation may change at any moment.  However, at the moment the efforts to prevent possible military  actions are not exhausted. I hope that the co-chairs will activate  their actions in this direction, "the Adviser to the President of  Artsakh concluded.

To note, a joint meeting of the Security Councils of Armenia and  Artsakh will be held in Stepanakert today.  The agenda of the meeting  is not yet known.

Prior to the meeting of the Security Councils, the Minsk Group  Co-Chairs made a statement in which they stated that it was not  advisable to change the current format of the negotiations. In  addition, they reminded about the elements that were at the  negotiating table from 2009-2012 - the transfer of territories under  the control of the Armenian side to Azerbaijan, the postponed  referendum on the status of Nagorno-Karakhab, the return of the  refugees to their former places of residence.
