(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7. The
command of the Russian peacekeepers in Azerbaijan's Karabakh
refused to accompany the "action", the march of Armenians towards
the Azerbaijani-Armenian border (Khakari Bridge), trend reports.
The command of the peacekeepers stated that, in
accordance with the provisions of the trilateral Statement of
November 9, 2020, the escort of cars by the Russian peacekeepers
and ensuring the security of various actions and rallies are not
provided.
The "protest" with the "organization" of separatists
in Karabakh, which began before the 6th meeting of the leaders in
Brussels (July 15), has so far been accompanied by Russian
peacekeepers.
Although it was pointed out as the main "reason" for discontent
that Azerbaijan allegedly "closed" the Lachin border checkpoint and
"created a humanitarian crisis" from which Armenian residents of
Karabakh allegedly "suffered," it quickly became clear to everyone
that this is all a sham campaign.
Facts and video evidence show that Azerbaijan does not make it
difficult for Armenians residing in Karabakh to enter the Lachin
border. Baku even offered Armenia a better Aghdam-Khankendi road to
bring humanitarian help to Armenians in Karabakh, but the Armenians
declined.
Thus, neither the Armenian authorities nor the
remnants of the so-called regime in Karabakh are interested in the
future fate of the Armenian residents of Karabakh. There is only
one side that thinks about them and takes responsibility for
ensuring their security, and that is Azerbaijan. The rest only
strive to realize their goals, using the Armenian residents of
Karabakh for this.
In order to prevent the transportation of manpower,
ammunition, mines, as well as other military equipment from Armenia
for illegal Armenian armed groups on the territory of Azerbaijan
(which weren't withdrawn contrary to the trilateral statement of
November 10, 2020), and as an adequate response to the unilateral
establishment of a border checkpoint by Armenia on the border with
Azerbaijan on April 22, 2023 at the entrance to the
Lachin-Khankendi road contrary to the trilateral statement of
November 10, 2020, on April 23 this year, the units of the State
Border Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan set up a border
checkpoint in its sovereign territories, on the border with
Armenia, at the beginning of the Lachin-Khankendi road.
