The Executive Board of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) expressed on Thursday its concern over the situation in Syunik province in Armenia, specifically the illegal crossing of the RA state border by the Azerbaijani armed forces and their advancement of 3.5 kilometers into the  Sev Lich area.   

"The Executive board notes that these developments came as a result of criminal inaction of Armenia's capitulant leadership, failure to properly assess the situation, the deep crisis in the state management and security as well as the destructive consequences of the recent Artsakh war," the statement issued by the party said. 

It added that the case of violation of the RA territorial integrity poses risks for escalation, and the authorities fail to undertake necessary measures to prevent and neutralize the existing risks. 

"As a result, Azerbaijan is expanding the tools for pressure on Armenia to create favorable ground for new concessions from Armenia and puts forward new demands. The  incompetent regime ruling in Armenia possesses neither internal nor external tools to ensure Armenia's territorial integrity," the statement said, adding every day the regime stays in power, brings dangers threatening Armenia, Artsakh and the Armenian people increase.
