The situation on Armenia’s borders remains unchanged after a new round of negotiations with the Azerbaijani side.

Azerbaijan’s armed forces crossed the state border of the Republic of Armenia and advanced 3.5 kilometers in Sev Lich (Black Lake) section in Syunik province. in an attempt to surround and siege the lake. On Thursday the Ministry of Defense reported provocations in the Vardenis and Sisisan sections.

“The Armenian side has once again presented its clear demand to the representatives of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces to avoid further aggravation of the situation, to avoid unpredictable consequences, to leave the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia without any preconditions, to return to their starting positions,” the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

As a result of the discussions, an agreement was reached to continue the negotiations tomorrow, on May 16, at 14:00.

No change in the situation has been registered in all three directions, where the Azerbaijani military tried to advance its positions.

Representatives of Azerbaijani Armed Forces had to leave some territories on Friday as a result of actions taken by Armenian subdivisions

The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia emphasize the need for a peaceful settlement of the situation, but once again declare that encroachments on the sovereign territories of Armenia are absolutely unacceptable.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
