The territorial integrity of Armenia has to be respected, the Greek Foreign Ministry said in a tweet on Thursday, commenting on the Azerbaijani incursion into Armenian territory.

“Tensions along Armenia's border are of particular concern. Armenia’s territorial integrity has to be respected. It is essential to avoid any unilateral actions that could undermine regional peace and stability,” the ministry said.

On May 12, the Azerbaijani military crossed the state border of Armenia close to Sev Lich (Black Lake) in Syunik Province and advanced as far as 3.5 kilometers in an effort to surround the lake.

The Defense Ministry said the situation after the provocative actions of the Azerbaijani troops in some border areas of Syunik and Gegharkunik Provinces of Armenia remains unchanged.
