ArmInfo. On May 11, at the initiative of the Armenian Mission to the OSCE, the agenda of the meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council included an issue entitled " Azerbaijan's next provocative and aggressive actions against the sovereign territory of Armenia."
According to the press service of the RA MFA, the head of the RA mission, Ambassador Armen Papikyan, in his speech noted that in the early morning of May 11, the armed forces of Azerbaijan opened fire from mortars and artillery in the direction of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, as a result of which there are wounded on the Armenian side.
The head of the RA mission stressed that the use of force by Azerbaijan is aimed at completely disrupting the efforts of international partners to establish an environment of stability in the South Caucasus and is aimed at nullifying the results of the meeting held in Washington to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This illegal action is also a clear attempt to disrupt the upcoming meetings in Brussels and Moscow.
Armen Papikyan stressed that Azerbaijan is trying to divert the attention of the international community from the facts of the ongoing blockade of the Lachin corridor and the resulting humanitarian crisis. The illegal establishment of a checkpoint on the corridor and the disruption of the activities of the International Committee of the Red Cross are aimed at carrying out the consistent implementation of the Azerbaijani policy of Armenian ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh and completely de-Armenianizing Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Ambassador assured that the Republic of Armenia will continue its efforts aimed at a stable settlement of the conflict and the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan in order to establish peace and security in the South Caucasus.
