Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's next attempts to manipulate the situation in the region are unacceptable.

It is no secret that Armenia continues its aggressive activities by dressing its country as a democracy.

APA reports that the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Aykhan Hajizade, said this in response to the media's question about the views expressed by the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, during the government meeting.

"There is no reason for the prime minister to once again misinterpret the temporary decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the Lachin road and make claims that Azerbaijan has allegedly closed the Lachin road.

At the same time, in order to prevent the use of Armenia's dirt roads for illegal activities in the north of the Lachin road, which are the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan, the intention to further escalate the situation by transporting weapons and ammunition to the territories of Azerbaijan, and to prevent potential provocations, appropriate control measures were taken by the units of the Azerbaijani army without using any force. it is unacceptable to consider it as an occupation by the Prime Minister of Armenia.

Preventing the illegal activities of Armenia, which intensify the transportation of manpower, ammunition, mines, as well as other military equipment for the Armenian armed forces in the territory of Azerbaijan, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed from Armenia, is the sovereign right of Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan is determined to implement all necessary measures in this direction.

In addition, the information about the control of several commanding heights, main and auxiliary roads, as well as large areas along the border, located between the villages of Jagazur and Zabukh of the Lachin district, in connection with the commissioning of the new Lachin road, was met with tension by Armenia, and the Prime Minister commented on this information during his speech. not understood.

It is well known that the Armenian Prime Minister's denial of the presence of the Armenian armed forces on the territory of Azerbaijan does not agree with the statements of other officials of Armenia under his direct authority and the Ministry of Defense that the armed forces have not yet been withdrawn.

We well remember that despite all the facts, the Armenian side claimed that its forces did not occupy Azerbaijan for 30 years.

All these claims of Armenia have been repeatedly proven to be groundless, and UN Security Council resolutions have demanded the unconditional and immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces.

The Armenian side should completely withdraw its forces from the territory of Azerbaijan in accordance with the Tripartite statement.

The Armenian side should give up its territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

Instead of inviting international organizations to Azerbaijan and interfering in the internal affairs of our country, it should fulfill its obligations.

It is a fact that Armenia increased its aggressive rhetoric against Azerbaijan in recent weeks, committed provocations against our armed forces on March 5 and 20, and gathered additional forces in the region.

Both during the 30-year occupation period and after 2020, it is known to everyone that Armenia, before preparing for any provocation, threw all the responsibility on Azerbaijan and allowed provocations.

As for the absurd ideas voiced by the prime minister about Azerbaijan's intention to commit an act of ethnic cleansing and "genocide", let's note that throughout history, Azerbaijan has never targeted the civilian population in response to the mass massacres committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis.

Armenia's policy and actions of terrorism and mass destruction are recorded in the memory of history with all documents, and denying it proves that Armenia has not given up on these actions.

These provocative and provocative statements of the Armenian side indicate Armenia's intention to purposefully disrupt the peace process in the context of the revival of international efforts towards the establishment of peace in the region, and such steps must be resolutely prevented," the statement said.
