Multiple international contacts took place to ramp up pressure and prevent Azerbaijan from using force - lawmaker

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. Armenian Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Sargis Khandanyan has said that the Azeri military buildup along the border with Armenia should be treated seriously.

Speaking to reporters in parliament on September 13, MP Khandanyan said that there’ve been multiple international contacts in order to ramp up pressure on Azerbaijan to prevent a possible attack.

“The Azerbaijani buildup of troops and equipment on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border attests to the continuation of Baku’s aggressive policy, unfulfillment of its assumed obligations and another attempt to solve issues through force. This issue must be treated seriously. You know that multiple international contacts have taken place in order to increase pressure on Azerbaijan so that it doesn’t attempt to solve any issue through the use of force,” Khandanyan said.
