ArmInfo.The international community, UN Security Council member states should take measures to prevent an explosion in the region, Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan stated at a Caboinet meeting on September 7.
The military and political situation in our region has significantly aggravated over the past week, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a government session on Thursday.
"The reason is that Azerbaijan has been accumulating troops on the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border for several days," Pashinyan said, adding that the rhetoric of hatred against Armenians has further accelerated in Azerbaijani mass media.
The prime minister stated that the policy of claiming Armenia's sovereign territories continues. "On September 1, Azerbaijani armed forces launched another provocation against Armenia's sovereign territory in the Sotk village, as a result of which three Armenian servicemen were killed. This provocation was preceded and followed by the dissemination of disinformation by Azerbaijan about the violation of the ceasefire by the Armenian armed forces," he said.
Pashinyan added that Azerbaijan continues its illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor and the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh has reached its peak.
"It is obvious that by these actions Azerbaijan demonstrates its aspirations for new military provocations against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. To justify this provocation, false theses have been put into circulation," Pashinyan said.
Nevertheless, Aermenia's remier reiterated Yerevan's commitment to the peace agenda and readiness to sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan.
