The situation along Armenia’s eastern border and the Line of Contact around Nagorno-Karabakh has been tense over the recent period, a spokesperson of Armenia’s Ministry of Defense has said, commenting on the past days’ frontline skirmishes.
Speaking to Tert.am, Artsrun Hovhannisyan noted that the adversary launched active armed raids especially in the direction of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia’s north-eastern region of Tavush. “Azerbaijan’s activity was expected, as we had earlier announced,” he told our correspondent.
As for the international calls for maintaining the ceasefire, Hovhannosyan said that Azerbaijan disrespected them all. “The reaction to the adversary lasted long enough to curb the [aggression],” he added.
Asked about additional efforts to restrain Azerbaijan, the spokesperson said he doesn’t see any need to take more action. In his words, the international organizations’ calls are effective.
