Armenian Armed Forces deploy additional sub-divisions depriving Azeri soldiers of opportunity to even theoretically undertake any operation
As of the morning of May 19, the situation created after the provocations made by Azerbaijan armed forces in some border sectors of Armenia's Syunik and Gegharkunik provinces on May 12-13 hasn’t essentially changed, Armenia's Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
“In all the direction where provocation took place - both the territories and Azerbaijani servicemen as well as the possible directions of ensuring their rear - continue to be under full control of Armenian forces,” MOD said.
“Moreover, additional sub-divisions of the Armenian Armed Forces were deployed in the territory depriving Azerbaijanis of any opportunity to even theoretically undertake any operation, leaving them the return to starting positions as the only reasonable solution,” the statement says, adding though that the negotiations over peaceful settlement of the issue are still ongoing.
“Armenia’s Ministry of Defense is hopeful that they [negotiations] will give desirable result and the created situation will be settled in a peaceful way.
At the same time, as it has already been stated in case of absence of the solution in reasonable timeframes the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia reserve the right to solve the issue in another way, including by force,” the statement runs.
