1 minute read

Speaker of Parliament Alen Simonyan has said he doesn’t share the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent assessment of a present risk of renewed escalation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Simonyan was asked by reporters to elaborate on Rubio’s statement.

“I don’t have such information,” the Speaker replied. “You can send a query to the defense ministry whether there are such trends or movements, but politically I don’t see such a thing at this moment,” he said.
