Azerbaijan continues pursuing the policy of carrying out provocative and aggressive actions on the border with Armenia. As the Security Council of the Republic of Armenia announced, on November 14 on one of the part of Armenia-Azerbaijan eastern border the Azerbaijani armed forces with the support of the military technique intruded the territory of the Republic of Armenia.

As a result of negotiations, the military technique and the great part of the troops were withdrawn, but the Armenian side had position losses.

After May 12 intrusion, Azerbaijan keeps under occupation about 41km² of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia - on about 11 sections.

The authorities of Azerbaijan made aggressive statements towards Armenia, in fact creating new territorial and security threats for the Republic of Armenia. The violations of the ceasefire regime on Armenia-Azerbaijan border are of daily character. This situation creates direct threat for Armenia being a member state of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Still after May 12 of this year Armenia took an initiative to send the CSTO mission for monitoring the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, according to the order of responding to the crisis situations of the CSTO.

Unfortunately, the initiative has not been called into life. Taking into consideration that Armenia is a the CSTO chairing country, I call on the RA Government to take an initiative for sending the CSTO Observation Mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, according to the order of responding to the crisis situations of the CSTO. I call on our parliamentary colleagues to make statements clarifying and covering the aggressive policy of Azerbaijan and the occupation of Armenia’s territories on all international instances.
