The withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops from the occupied territories of Armenia can be a serious step on the way to building trust between the parties. Edmon Marukyan, RA ambassador with special assignments, wrote about this in his microblog of the X social network, referring to the military aggression carried out by Azerbaijan against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia 1 year ago, as a result of which the Armenian side had more than 200 victims and many wounded.

"Until today, around 150 square kilometers of the sovereign territory of Armenia are occupied, and despite the demands of the international community, the Azerbaijani armed forces have not been withdrawn from these territories. The withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops from the occupied territories of Armenia can be a serious step in the way of building trust between the parties," Marukyan wrote.

He noted that the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan should leave the sovereign territory of Armenia, and all prisoners of war and other detainees should be released from the prisons of Azerbaijan.
