Azerbaijan welcomes the decision of the UN International Court of Justice - MFA /UPDATED/
Baku/07.07.23/Turan: The International Court of Justice of the United Nations recognized Azerbaijan's sovereign right to establish a border checkpoint at the entrance to the Lachin road, the message of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
On July 6, the International Court of Justice rejected Armenia's petition dated May 12, 2023 to amend the decision of this structure dated February 22, 2023 in the case "Armenia v. Azerbaijan", which concerned the situation on the Lachin road, the press-release.
"We welcome the court's decision confirming Azerbaijan's right to control its borders and proving the groundlessness of Armenia's demand to eliminate the border checkpoint," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a press release.
The incorrect interpretation by the Armenian side of the latest Court decision is nothing more than an attempt to divert attention from the impasse in which it found itself, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry further noted.
Azerbaijan's decision to establish a border checkpoint at the entrance to the Lachin Road is its sovereign right to protect borders. This decision arose due to the need to stop the illegal flow of weapons, military equipment and military personnel to the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan, which threatens the security and peaceful prospects of the country, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
"In addition, since the establishment of the checkpoint, local residents of Armenian origin pass through it without discrimination within the framework of Azerbaijan's domestic and international obligations," the document further notes.
Azerbaijan fulfills the decision of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations and its international legal obligations. Azerbaijan will continue to take all necessary measures to hold Armenia accountable for its persistent and historically serious violations of international law, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. ---0---
