Balasanyan is not in power yet, but threatens Azerbaijan
Baku / 29.12.20 / Turan: “There will be a clarification of the borders and our status. After working with Armenia and Russia, we will return part of the Askeran region and the Hadrut region,” said Vitaly Balasanyan, head of the “Karabakh Security Council” in an interview with local TV.
“The statement of Baku that Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan is far from reality. After the ceasefire, there were territorial violations by Azerbaijan, but they are temporary.
An anti-terrorist operation will be carried out. All violations will be suppressed, including by peacekeepers. We will wait and see what state Azerbaijan will be in in the near future,” he said.
He said that his two-day visit to Yerevan was official in order to meet with the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Minister of Defense of Armenia. -02D-
