YEREVAN, JULY 13, ARMENPRESS. Lawmaker Mikayel Melkumyan (Prosperous Armenia), the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration Affairs, said he expects a response from the Collective Treaty Security Organization (CSTO) over the Azerbaijani cross-border military attack on an Armenian military position.

“The semiliterate military-political leadership of Azerbaijan launched yet another provocation and received a worthy counter-blow. Glory and honor to our troops, commanders, in this situation the entire Armenian nation is uniting to give a worthy counter-blow. Now we will wait for a relevant response from the CSTO. This is a shelling on the Armenian state border,” Melkumyan said.

Arman Abovyan, the Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia faction, said in his speech in parliament that these actions overtly show that Azerbaijan is once again reiterating its anti-Armenian and anti-human conduct.
