At this stage, there are certain changes in discharge of the situation: President of Artsakh

President of Artsakh Republic (Nagorno-Karabakh) Arayik Harutyunyan convened an extended sitting of the Security Council again to discuss the military-political situation created in the republic.  

“Qualifying the actions being carried out by Azerbaijan against Artsakh since August 1 as a provocation, I noted that the necessary steps are being taken through the command staff of the Russian peacekeeping contingent deployed in Artsakh in order to de-escalate the situation and resolve it peacefully.

Thus, I appeal to all our compatriots with the request to maintain restraint and calmness.

We can record that at this stage there are certain changes in the de-escalation of the situation related to both the military situation and the Berdzor (Lachin) Corridor,” Harutyunyan stated.
