MOSCOW, March 20. /TASS/. Baku violates almost all provisions of the tripartite statement signed by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan on the cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh on November 9, 2020, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said at a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Monday.
"Unfortunately, in practice, there is not a single point in the tripartite statement of November 9 that Azerbaijan has not violated – systematic violations of the ceasefire, the occupation of the territories of the Republic of Armenia, the illegal blocking of the Lachin corridor, the keeping of Armenian prisoners of war in custody, and obstructions to the re-opening of regional links," he said.
Mirzoyan stressed that Yerevan was expecting its allies and partners to take active steps to ensure Azerbaijan fulfill its obligations and stop the use of force.
"The Azerbaijani side, with its ongoing provocations, is torpedoing efforts for establishing lasting peace and stability in the region. In this context, I would like to emphasize the need for active steps by Armenia’s allies and partners in order to ensure Azerbaijan fulfill its obligations and stop using force and threats in violation of international law," Mirzoyan said.
