Any encroachment on Armenia’s borders and security should receive clear and strong counteract – Armenia president
Armenia’s president Armen Sarkissian referred to the situation in Armenia’s Syunik province describing it as extremely worrying and stressing the importance of the expedient settlement.
“It is urgent to undertake all the necessary measures to unconditionally defend the interests and security of the Republic of Armenia and RA citizens,” the statement issued by president’s press service reads.
“The president’s position is that the country’s security and the inviolability of the borders are not bargaining chip and any encroachment on them is condemnable and must receive clear and strong counteract as well as international response. The whole responsibility of the further escalation of the situation and undermining of already fragile situation in the region lays on Azerbaijani side,” the statement says.
