ArmInfo. Azerbaijani military units, which entered the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia on May 12, continue to carry out provocative actions in a number of directions. This is stated in the statement of the RA Foreign Ministry.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that as a result of one of them, in the early morning of May 27, six servicemen of the RA Armed Forces were surrounded and taken prisoner by the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan while carrying out engineering work in the border zone of the Gegharkunik region of the Republic of Armenia.
"These provocative actions of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan are aimed at further aggravating the situation, which could seriously undermine regional peace and stability. We strongly condemn the use of force by Azerbaijan against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia, stressing that the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan bears full responsibility for the consequences of these actions.
The captured Armenian servicemen must be immediately and unconditionally returned, "the Armenian Foreign Ministry noted.
