In case of use of force against its territorial integrity Armenia will employ military-political instruments reserved under international law – MFA

The Azerbaijani side is deliberately aggravating the situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

The comments come after units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, which had infiltrated the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia since May 12, attacked the Armenian positions located in the north-eastern direction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, which led to local battles. According to preliminary data, casualties are reported.

“The Azerbaijani side is deliberately aggravating the situation as the illegal presence of the Azerbaijani armed forces in the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia continues, as the Azerbaijani leadership justifies such actions by laying territorial-historical claims on Armenia,” the Ministry said.

It noted that in response to the use of force by Azerbaijan against the territorial integrity of Armenia, the Republic of Armenia will use all its military-political toolkit reserved under international law.

“We strongly condemn the military actions of the Azerbaijani side against regional peace and security,” the Foreign Ministry said, adding that the entire responsibility for further aggravation of the situation lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.
