Today the government sitting started with discussing of the border situation. The Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reminded the July 12 attack by Azerbaijan on one of the Tavush border posts. The RA Armed Forces not only repulsed the enemy's attacks, but also inflicted significant damage on him, he said.
"The Azerbaijani side has suffered many losses, including armaments and military equipment, including the most modern equipment, which is the obvious victory for the Armenian military force, the military-industrial complex of thought.
The moral and psychological blow to the enemy was much stronger. As a result of border incidents, an internal political instability has been created in Azerbaijan, which forces the country's leadership to resort to new provocations to direct the energy of internal discontent against Armenia and Artsakh", said the Prime Minister.
The head of the government also mentioned that, without a doubt, we come out of this ordeal victorious, confident in the endurance of our forces, the people, the society, but it is necessary t is necessary to make certain conclusions.
"We can not ignore the fact that after April 2016, Azerbaijan used force for the second time when there was a peace process, when there was a call from the Minsk Group Co-Chairs to refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric. Azerbaijan used force at a time when the whole world was concentrating its forces and resources on the fight against the global epidemic that has plagued humanity.
But anyway we have strengthened our position, which is expressed in the following.
The general security system of Armenia and Artsakh needs to be further strengthened. From this point of view I consider it very important our close cooperation with the Republic of Artsakh.
The Artsakh Republic must become a full-fledged party to the negotiations.
Azerbaijan must publicly renounce the use of force and take credible steps to end anti-Armenian rhetoric.
The security of the population of Armenia and Artsakh cannot be compromised under any circumstances". the Prime Minister concluded.
