Mirzoyan: Armenia-Azerbaijan discussions  on border shelling do not  guarantee their absence in the future

ArmInfo. Issues related to the shelling of border villages in the Syunik region continue to be a serious concern, sparking discussions  on both sides. However, there is no guarantee they will not occur in the future, as stated by  Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan at a briefing with  journalists on June 5.

As the head of the MFA explained, the Armenian side is prepared to  conduct the necessary investigations, but the actions of the  Azerbaijani side have not  reached a level that can ensure the  prevention of such incidents in the future.

According to the minister, they are actively informing the  Azerbaijani side about the ongoing shelling, emphasizing that it is  coming from the territory of Azerbaijan. "The Azerbaijani side, in  turn, claims during the meetings that it is not they who are  shooting, but us. In response, we ask them to provide evidence of  their words and propose organizing a joint mechanism for  investigating border incidents that would respond to signals and  record events on the spot," the head of the MFA explained. Mirzoyan  also assured that there is some understanding with Azerbaijan on this  issue. "Everything we are discussing pertains to issues on which it  is impossible to declare a final agreement. Nevertheless, it cannot  be denied that both side are listening to each other; work is being  done on the ground by both sides. However, there are no final  decisions that satisfy everyone at this point, as we are dealing with  very delicate issues," the minister concluded.
