ArmInfo. Azerbaijan's military actions in Nagorno- Karabakh must be immediately halted.  President of the European Council, Charles Michel, wrote on his Official account in X (Twitter).

"Devastating news coming from former Nagorno-Karabakh oblast today.  Military actions of Azerbaijan must be immediately halted to allow  for a genuine dialogue between Baku and Karabakh Armenians," he  wrote.  In turn, Member of the European Parliament, permanent  rapporteur on Armenia Andrey Kovatchev emphasized that Azerbaijan  must immediately stop its attacks on Nagorno-Karabakh.

Today Azerbaijan, under the pretext of an anti-terrorist operation,  began a large-scale aggression against Artsakh. The final goal of  this enemy operation is the abolition of the Artsakh Defense Army and  the de- Armenization of the NKR. The Azerbaijani side has already  openly stated this. The enemy side has already offered the Artsakh  people a corridor to leave Artsakh. According to media reports, the  enemy is targeting, including children's institutions, several  children (at least 7 children) were taken to the hospital with  injuries of varying severity.

Against the backdrop of what was happening, the Prime Minister of  Armenia convened a meeting of the RA Security Council. The Armenian  Foreign Ministry issued a statement accusing Baku of carrying out  ethnic cleansing in Artsakh.

The RA Ministry of Defense made a toothless statement that there is  no Armenian Armed Forces in Artsakh, and added that the situation on  the borders of the republic is relatively stable.
