ArmInfo.The presence of artillery means in the direction of Vardenis is directly related to the movement and deployment of additional forces and equipment by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, which caused a certain tension. This is stated in the statement of the Armenian Defense Ministry in response to the threats of Azerbaijan.
"The steps of the Armenian side, carried out after the deployment of additional Azerbaijani artillery and anti- aircraft means in the given zone, are exclusively of defensive nature. The actions of the Armenian side do not aim to strain the situation, and if the Azerbaijani side withdraws the mentioned equipment from the given direction, the Armenian side will also withdraw its. The Armenian side is ready to negotiate on this issue," the Defense Ministry concluded.
It should be noted that today the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan issued a statement in which it expressed its indignation at the fact that the Armenian armed forces gathered additional forces in their own territory, including four artillery pieces.
"Responsibility for a possible aggravation of the situation in the region lies entirely with the military- political leadership of Armenia," the report says.
We add that the opposing side has lost its sanity so much that it considers it right to interfere in the internal affairs of Armenia and to comment on the issue of moving its own forces to its sovereign territory.
