The goal of Azerbaijan's disinformation campaign is to divert the attention of the international community from the steps to carry out ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh. RA MFA

In recent days, Azerbaijan has sharply intensified the spread of false and untrue information related to the Republic of Armenia. RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement about this.

"The most recent example of this is the disinformation about the accumulation of troops and ammunition along the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border by the RA armed forces. The spread of such false information indicates Azerbaijan's intention to strain the situation in the region.

Despite repeated denials by the Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijan continues to spread the claim about the presence of the Armenian army in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is completely untrue.

We draw the attention of the international community to the fact that the proposal of the Republic of Armenia to send an international fact-finding mission to Nagorno Karabakh to clarify this issue has been repeatedly rejected by Azerbaijan. With Azerbaijan's continued claims, such a mission is obviously becoming more urgent.

It is also obvious that one of the goals of the misinformation campaign organized by Azerbaijan is to divert the international community's attention from the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh and its steps to carry out ethnic cleansing by inciting a humanitarian disaster.

The humanitarian crisis established in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of the illegal blocking of the Lachin Corridor is direct evidence of Azerbaijan's violation of the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020. In recent years, Azerbaijan has violated almost all provisions of the tripartite declaration, particularly its 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th points.

As already noted by international partners, by illegally blocking the Lachin Corridor, Azerbaijan also violates the legally binding decisions of the International Court of Justice of February 22 and July 6, 2023 on the uninterrupted movement of people, vehicles and goods in both directions through the Lachin Corridor. on providing.

Azerbaijan continues to violate many agreements reached during the negotiations. Among them, contrary to the Brussels agreement of May 14, 2023, until now Azerbaijan has not made a clear statement about recognizing the territorial integrity of 29 thousand 800 square kilometers of the Republic of Armenia, refuses to implement the agreements reached on the resumption of the Yeraskh-Ordubad-Meghri-Horadiz railway. :

Official Baku also obstructs the dialogue with Stepanakert within the framework of the international mechanism by all possible means.

While illegally blocking the Lachin Corridor for 8 months, Azerbaijan also blocked the entry of 400 tons of humanitarian cargo to Nagorno-Karabakh for 3 weeks.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia emphasizes that the peace agenda has no alternative in our region. We reaffirm that despite all the complications, there is a possibility of achieving long-term, stable and lasting peace, and we call on Azerbaijan to refrain from all steps aimed at reducing that possibility. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms the commitment of the Government of the Republic of Armenia to the peace agenda and the agreements reached during the negotiations and calls on all actors of the international community, who are interested in establishing peace and stability in the region, to use all the instruments at their disposal in order to bring the Azerbaijani side to a constructive field. , the statement said.
