PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan expects the Russian peacekeeping force to undertake measures to ensure the immediate withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops that have invaded Nagorno-Karabakh and captured an Armenian village, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday, March 25.

On Thursday, Azerbaijan used drones to launch an offensive against Nagorno-Karabakh, capturing a village and positions nearby and injuring one Armenian soldier. It was reported on Friday, however, that lengthy negotiations of the Russian peacekeeping troops have not yielded significant results, and the Azeris have not returned to the starting positions.

"The infiltrated units of the Azerbaijani armed forces attacked the bases of the Defense Army last night. The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh remains tense," the statement said.

The Foreign Ministry insisted that the Azerbaijani armed forces must return to the starting position of March 23.

“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
