Azerbaijan's retaliatory measures were limited in scope and
aimed at legitimate military targets rather than civilians,
Azernews reports, citing the Foreign Ministry.
The statement was delivered during a briefing for members of the
diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan, which was held at the
Foreign Ministry and attended by Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Jeyhun Bayramov and presidential advisor Hikmat Hajiyev.
At the briefing, the participants were provided with full
information regarding the immediate and adequate steps made to
avert tension and military aggression caused by the Armenian armed
forces' large-scale military provocations in the direction of the
Kalbajar, Lachin, and Dashkasan districts.
It was stressed that the retaliatory measures by Azerbaijan were
of a limited nature, aimed at legitimate military targets, and did
not target the civilian population.
It was emphasized that this act of aggression, which happened on
the state border, is part of a series of military and political
provocations carried out by Armenia in recent days.
The speakers emphasized that Armenia has flagrantly violated the
requirements of the trilateral declarations signed by Azerbaijani,
Armenian, and Russian leaders by failing to withdraw its military
troops from Azerbaijani land and continuing to mine Azerbaijani
territories.
Furthermore, Armenia boosted militarization in the border
region, impeded the establishment of transport communications, and
took destructive acts against the peace process, by failing to
reply to Azerbaijan's proposals to begin serious discussions on a
peace treaty.
It was stressed that the military tension in the region is not
in the interests of Azerbaijan since the country is rebuilding
liberated territories and making large investments there. The
return of a group of internally displaced families to the area
close to the military tension zone - Agali village of Zangilan
District is a great example of this.
At the end of the briefing, the participants' points of view
were heard, and questions were answered.
