ArmInfo. Acting Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Vagharshak Harutyunyan during a telephone conversation with Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu noted that the Armenian side respects the calls of the partner states and bodies to resolve the issue peacefully, at the same time emphasizing that the position of the Armenian side is unchanged: the Azerbaijani Armed Forces must leave the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia without any preconditions.
As reported by the press service of the RA Ministry of Defense, Vagharshak Harutyunyan and Sergey Shoigu also discussed issues related to the deployment of Russian border guards on the Armenian- Azerbaijani sections of the border in the Syunik and Gegharkunik regions of the Republic of Armenia together with the Armed Forces of Armenia. The parties touched upon the mission of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Artsakh, the Armenian-Russian cooperation in the defense sector, as well as a number of issues related to regional problems.
To recall, since May 12 The Azerbaijani Armed Forces invaded the sovereign territory of Armenia in two directions (Syunik and Gegharkunik) and refuse to leave the territory. The Armenian side is trying to resolve the situation peacefully, meanwhile the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to terrorize civilians in the border area by stealing their livestock. The last incident took place the previous morning. The Azerbaijani servicemen stole and slaughtered the cow of a resident of the village Zhorzha. It can be assumed that the President of Azerbaijan poorly supports his military and they are starving, since they spread to the Armenian cows.
