(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 18 . The gruesome
provocations are testimony to Armenia's revanchist policy, Peter
Marko Tase, American Journalist and prominent scholar on the
geopolitics of Europe and United States, told trend .
He was commenting on the renewed tension on the
Azerbaijani-Armenian border.
Tase pointed out that there is a total lack of exerting pressure
towards the government of Armenia in order to engage immediately in
negotiations to reach peace agreement with Azerbaijan.
“On the other hand the government of Azerbaijan has been very
cooperative and has always extended maximum efforts to establish a
peaceful dialogue with Armenia. Armenia must be stopped from using
its rogue armed forces and violence against the people and armed
forces of Azerbaijan,” noted the expert.
Tase also touched upon the illegal acts of Armenia, which lead
to environmental problems.
“The Armenian fascist regime is constantly causing devastating
destruction to the environment and continues to plant a wide web of
landmines inside the territory of Azerbaijan. The metallurgical
plant that Armenia started to build illegally in the area bordering
with Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is a flagrant
violation of UN principles of defending the environment,” he
added.
On June 15, around 08:00 (GMT+4), Armenian armed forces,
continuing their terrorist and provocative actions, fired at the
Lachin border checkpoint located at the entrance to the
Lachin-Khankendi road, which is the sovereign territory of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, from firearms of various calibers, and
opened fire on servicemen of the State border guards serving in the
area. As a result, one soldier, Elshan Rustamov, received gunshot
wounds.
These criminal acts of the armed forces of the Republic of
Armenia caused damage to the checkpoint, and as a result of this
provocation, the operation of the checkpoint was violated.
The scene of the incident, being the territory of the village of
Gulabird of the Lachin district of the Republic of Azerbaijan, is
the unconditional sovereign territory of the Republic of
Azerbaijan.
