Despite efforts to call the Sept. 13 Azerbaijani attack on Armenia a “border incident,” what happened then was a “full-scale invasion,” Armenia’s national security leader Armen Grigoryan said Thursday.
Speaking at a summit of CIS national security leaders, Grigoryan sought to counter efforts to minimize the severity of Azerbaijan’s aggression against Armenia and warned of new threats and attacks on Armenia’s sovereign territory.
“I would like to say in particular that [the attack] was not a ‘border incident’ or a ‘border clash’ as some forces tried to provide it, but a large-scale invasion of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. “Using heavy artillery, rocket launchers and drones. Azerbaijani armed forces shelled 36 settlements and communities deep in the sovereign territory of Armenia, adding the cities of Goris, Jermuk, Vardenis, Kapan,” Grigoryan said addressing the summit.
“The threat of further aggression through Azerbaijan not only persists, but also remains quite high. Almost every day, the Azerbaijani side organizes provocations, violates the ceasefire on the border, blaming the Armenian side,” Grigoryan said, adding that since May 2021, when Azerbaijan first crossed Armenia’s sovereign borders, Azerbaijan continues “illegally tens of square kilometers of territory in our country. “
Grigoryan also said Yerevan is in a position to normalize relations with Baku and, as a component of this process, open maritime links and demarcate borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He cited the most recent announcement by Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian leaders, followed on Monday. in which they agreed to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of each. He added that a similar document was made public in Prague on Oct. 6.
“We attach importance to the status quo of security and border delimitation commissions. However, that doesn’t mean there are no borders at all, as some other people try to portray,” Grigoryan said. Insisting that borders do not exist is very harmful. and irresponsible. It blurs concepts as basic as sovereignty, territorial integrity and opens the way to competitive actions.
“Existing CIS and UN documents verify the fact that the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan was already demarcated in the years of the USSR. Therefore, there was an invasion of Azerbaijani troops on the sovereign territory of Armenia, and those troops will have to leave Armenian territory,” Grigoryan said. Insisted.
Armenia’s national security leader also complained at the summit that despite Armenia’s efforts to advance the procedure of opening transit routes, Azerbaijan continues to raise the factor of opening a “transport corridor” through the territory of Armenia.
“There can be no shipping route or address on the territory of Armenia on the line of a ‘corridor’. I have said this several times and I would like to emphasize once again that there is no reference to such corridors in the trilateral statements of the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan of November 9, 2020, January 11 and November 26, 2021, as well as in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin No. 695 of November 10, 2020 “On measures aimed at maintaining peace in Nagorno-Karabakh. “Therefore, we consider unacceptable the arbitrary and false interpretation of the agreements reached,” Grigyan said. “The Republic of Armenia is in a position to open the roads as soon as possible. In addition, the draft resolution of the Armenian government to open 3 checkpoints to ensure that maritime communication between the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic has been in official flow for a long time,” Grigoryan said.
“However, as we can see, the Azerbaijani aspect is not interested in the genuine solution of the challenge in a constructive manner and continues to propose the ‘corridor’ edition of the solution, which is not appropriate for Armenia. In short, it is very complicated to participate in the discussion and get along with those who have no preference for discussion and pursue absolutely different goals,” Grigoryan said.
