Armenian Security Council Sec reproaches Russia for inaction during  clash on Armenian-Azerbaijani border

ArmInfo. Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan reproaches Russia for inaction during the clash on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. 

On February 21, in a conversation with journalists, when asked to  evaluate the latest statement by Russian Foreign Ministry official  Maria Zakharova that "unlike false European observers, the CSTO is  capable of ensuring stability in the South Caucasus," Grigoryan  recalled the latest incident that occurred in Nerkin Hand. In this  vein, the Secretary of the Security Council assured that European  observers do not have access to this section of the border, but the  Russian side has access.

"Russia is present there, and Russia was unable to prevent the  incident. That is, I am convinced that the reality is different.  Definitely, the EU civilian mission plays a stabilizing role. We  fully facilitate and will continue to facilitate their activities,"  Grigoryan noted.

When asked by a journalist that information is being circulated that  in some areas, including Nerkih Hand, Russian peacekeepers are  preventing the EU mission from accessing it, Grigoryan noted that  there is one such area. "On one site. And yes, we have recorded this  problem, we are informed about it and are trying to solve it," Mr  Grigoryan. 

At the same time, he did not agree with the Russian side's assessment  of the presence of fluctuations in Armenia's foreign policy.  According to the official, Armenia is diversifying its foreign  policy. "This is being done openly, including through such events,  political messages and other steps. Armenia is diversifying its  policy not only towards the West, but also India and a number of  other countries," he said, once again stating that these steps of  Yerevan were dictated by the fact that the previous security system  demonstrated its insolvency back in 2020-22.

On the morning of February 13, the Armenian Ministry of Defense  reported that the Azerbaijani military opened fire on Armenian  positions on the border in the Nerkin Hand region. The Armenian  Ministry of Defense announced the death of four soldiers and the  injury of another.
