Armenia installed a checkpoint on the Lachin-Khankendi road without agreement with Baku

Baku/23.04.23/Turan:    On April 22, at about 20:00, movement in the column of 2 Armenian KamAZ trucks, 1 auto crane KamAZ, 1 UAZ-3151 and 1 UAZ-Patriot vehicles with a residential container on each was recorded by the Azerbaijan Army's surveillance cameras in the territory of Lachin region.

The video footage testifies that the column of vehicles moving from the direction of the Armenian Kornidzor settlement first enters the territory of Azerbaijan by crossing the newly built bridge over the Hakari river on the Azerbaijani-Armenian conditional border. It should be noted that the entry of military supplies from Armenia to Azerbaijan was carried out with the support of Russian peacekeepers.

As a result of the surveillance, it was also revealed that after the return of vehicles to the territory of Armenia, the two residential containers were unloaded to a place prepared in advance by a truck crane on the cross of the Lachin-Khankendi road on the border with Azerbaijan.

The observation confirms the establishment by the Armenian side of a border checkpoint on the border with Azerbaijan, at the entrance to the Lachin-Khankendi road, without prior agreement and in violation of the Trilateral Statement of November 10, 2020.

As a response, Baku should expect Azerbaijan to establish a checkpoint on the Lachin-Khankendi road on the other side of the bridge over the Khakari River. This will allow the Azerbaijani security forces to check all vehicles traveling from Armenia to the Armenian-populated part of Karabakh and back.—06D-
