CoE Secretary General is concerned about instability of  Armenian-Azerbaijani border

ArmInfo.Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejcinovic Buric, is concerned about 

the instability of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

"Concerned about reports of exchange of fire along the 

Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Call on both sides to abstain from the use 

of force.  Dialogue is the only way to lasting peace," the CoE 

Secretary General wrote on her microblog on Twitter (X).

On the morning of February 13, the Armenian Ministry of Defense 

reported that the Azerbaijani armed forces opened fire on Armenian 

combat positions on the border in the Nerkin Hand (Syunik region). 

According to the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, four servicemen were 

killed and one more was injured.

Azerbaijan not only does not deny the fact of aggression, but also 

cynically stated that they carried out a 'revenge operation' in 

response to a "provocation" by the Armenian military. At the same 

time, they added that as a result of these actions, the Armenian 

combat post was destroyed. It is noteworthy that all this is 

happening in the territories of Armenia, which were previously 

captured by the enemy side against the background of the 

international community's tacit encouragement of Azerbaijani 

aggression.
