BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 4. Azerbaijan strongly
rejects the statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry on August 3,
which unfairly accuses the Azerbaijani side, the statement of
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said, Trend reports.
The fact, that the Armenian Foreign Ministry accuses Azerbaijan
of violating the trilateral declaration is nothing but hypocrisy,
the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan notes.
'The Azerbaijani side has repeatedly emphasized that the
provisions of the statement signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan,
Russia and Armenia on November 10, 2020, have not been implemented,
especially since the Armenian armed forces have not yet completely
withdrawn from the territory of Azerbaijan. The article 4 of the
trilateral declaration said that the peacekeeping contingent of the
Russian Federation shall be deployed in parallel with the
withdrawal of the Armenian Armed Forces,' the ministry
recalled.
The ministry added that in addition to numerous testimonies from
the Azerbaijani side about the presence of illegal Armenian armed
forces on the territory of Azerbaijan, this fact was also
recognized by Armenian authorities.
'Thus, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed
Forces Sahak Sahakyan said that Armenian conscripts serving in
Azerbaijan's Karabakh region will be replaced by military personnel
of long-term active military service during the meeting with the
parents of those called up for military service on June 29 this
year,' the ministry noted.
Furthermore, the ministry said, the Secretary of the Security
Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan stated that 'the withdrawal of
units of the Armenian armed forces from Azerbaijan's Karabakh will
be completed in September of this year' during his interview on
July 19, 2022.
