India has been following, with concern the situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs said in response to media queries.
“Border incursions through military movements can destabilize the situation and lead to renewed hostilities. We call upon the transgressing side to pull back forces immediately and cease any further provocation,” the Spokesperson said.
“India has always stood for peaceful resolution of bilateral disputes through political and diplomatic means. Peace and stability in the South Caucasus region is important from the regional security perspective,” the Ministry added.
A major reason that Russia is letting Azerbaijan getting away with these attacks on Armenia is that Putin and Lavrov want to embarrass and weaken PM Pashinyan before the June elections.
However, it is still a good lesson for Armenians to learn: Russia is not going to adhere to its defense pact with Armenia. Armenia will remains vulnerable whenever it depends on Russia.
More Armenians need to speak up about this and not close their eyes and ears to the truth about Russia.
This is welcome, but what Armenia really needs from India are hi-tech weapons.
