ArmInfo. State Minister of the Republic of Artsakh Artak Beglaryan wonders why, in the context of the provocative actions and attacks carried out by Azerbaijan against Artsakh and Artsakh Armenians since early August, international institutions continue to maintain artificial parity in their calls to the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides.
"I wonder why international institutions and leaders again keep artificial parity between Azerbaijani and Armenian sides in their recent calls, if it's Baku launching military provocations recorded by AZ MoD and Russian peacekeepers. Such parity brings false legitimization of use of force," he wrote on Twitter.
The situation on the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh has escalated since August 1. On August 3, in the morning, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces fired at the combat positions of the Artsakh Defense Army and the place of permanent deployment of one of the military units, using mortars, grenade launchers and attack UAVs, as a result of which two contract soldiers were killed and 19 soldiers were injured. On August 3, Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan announced a partial military mobilization.
