Azerbaijan: ‘It is ridiculous that an Armenian official claims the Lachin road is closed’

It is ridiculous that an Armenian official, who cannot digest the daily free passage of dosens of Armenian residents through the Lachin border crossing in both directions by following the appropriate procedures, claims that the Lachin road is closed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan said in a commentary on allegations made by Armen Grigoryan, Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, during an interview to the Public Television on June 4, 2023, Report informs.

“At the same time, an immediate end to interference in the issue of reintegration of Armenian residents would be an indication that Armenia respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan not in words but in deeds. Instead of advancing the peace process in the region, the statement by an Armenian official that his country has entered a new period of arms buildup, shows that this country has not yet learned from history,” the ministry said.
