(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry in a new statement on March 7
rapped the Russian peacekeeping contingent for accompanying the
transportation of military cargoes from Armenia to the Karabakh
separatists via the dirt road, where Azerbaijan sustained two
losses on March 5 while preventing the conduct of weapons and other
goods.
“After the incident that occurred on the
Khankendi-Khalfali-Turshsu dirt road on March 5, the use of this
road by the Armenian armed forces and illegal Armenian armed
detachments accompanied by the Russian peacekeeping forces for
conducting military transportation again was recorded by technical
surveillance equipment of the Azerbaijan Army Units stationed in
this direction,” Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said, Azernews reports.
“During the day on March 7, the movement of military vehicles of
the Armenian armed forces and illegal Armenian armed detachments in
convoys from the mentioned road was provided under the
accomplishment of the Russian peacekeeping forces. By technical
surveillance means it was once again recorded that the road was
used for military transportation despite the refutation and
hypocrisy of Armenia.
'The implementation of military transportation accompanied by
the Russian peacekeeping forces, which is a gross violation of the
provisions of the Trilateral Statement, is unacceptable and must be
stopped immediately.
'We reiterate that providing weapons, ammunition, mines,
supplies, and other military equipment by Armenia to illegal
Armenian armed detachments in the Karabakh economic region of
Azerbaijan, as well as transporting military personnel to combat
positions and their rotating using this method, is a gross
violation of Azerbaijan's sovereignty, the provisions of the
Trilateral Statement and the continuation of the policy of military
aggression against Azerbaijan. If such actions are not immediately
and permanently stopped, the Azerbaijani side will have to take the
necessary measures to suppress the actions of Armenia and illegal
Armenian military formations in the sovereign territories of
Azerbaijan.
'The events that occurred once again confirm the essential and
inevitable need for Azerbaijan to establish a regime of control
over the Lachin road,” the ministry said.
