Baku/13.05.21/Turan: The Azerbaijani State Border Service made no statement yesterday and today about the situation on the border of Lachin district with Syunik region of Armenia. Attempts by Turan to reach the phone numbers listed on the SBS website were unsuccessful.
We should remind that late in the evening of May 12, the head of the Armenian government, Nikol Pashinyan, convened the Security Council, where he announced that the Azerbaijani forces had crossed the Armenian state border on May 12 to a depth of 3.5 kilometers.
This is an encroachment into Armenian territory. The Armenian Armed Forces have taken necessary measures, but they are trying to justify their actions with maps, claiming it is their territory, Pashinyan said. He said Yervan would resolve the issue through negotiations.
