“There is a goal, the process has begun – Russia can not prevent this operation”

France and After the United States Russia also made a statement “condemning” Azerbaijan. Russia Released by the Ministry of Defense yesterday information stated in the bulletin that, Azerbaijani armed forces violated the provisions of the tripartite statement and entered the zone of responsibility of peacekeepers. “In the village of Farrukh”Bayraktar“4 blows were inflicted on the military units of the Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces. At the moment Russia Command of the peacekeeping contingent to resolve the situation and takes measures to return troops to their original positions. An appeal has been sent to the Azerbaijani side to withdraw troops, “the statement said.

Washington and Statements from Paris also called for the return of the Azerbaijani armed forces to their previous positions. The US representative went a step further and accused Baku of “irresponsibility”.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said in a recent statement that Russia MNthat the disclosure of does not reflect the truth and regretted this approach.

The Defense Ministry recalls what happened on the line of contact in recent days that, Azerbaijan 2020in 10 is committed to the November tripartite statement and did not violate any of its provisions.

“It simply came to our notice then that, in accordance with paragraph 4 of that statement, the remains of the Armenian army and The complete withdrawal of illegal Armenian armed groups from the territories of Azerbaijan so far execution has not been done. That’s it according to It is not Azerbaijan that violates the provisions of the statement, but Armenia.

The Ministry of Defense reports that, This statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is the essence of bilateral relations and Alliance signed between the two countries on February 22, 2022 snowcontradicts the Declaration on Interaction:

There is no administrative territorial unit called “Nagorno-Karabakh” in the territory of Azerbaijan. The name of the village mentioned in the statement is not Furukh, but Farrukh.

In connection with the above, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in accordance with the provisions of the tripartite statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and to ensure the complete withdrawal of illegal Armenian armed groups from the territories of Azerbaijan recognized by the international community, not to distort the actions of the Azerbaijani armed forces within the sovereign territories of our country, not to use the term “Nagorno-Karabakh” and It asks to indicate the names of the territories of Azerbaijan correctly.

The response of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry to the US State Department also reminds that the United States, as a member of the Minsk Group, has not taken any effective steps in the 30 years of the Armenian occupation. “Azerbaijan itself has restored its territorial integrity on the basis of international law and UN Ensured the implementation of Security Council resolutions. At present, the concept of “Nagorno-Karabakh” does not exist, but East Zangazur, which is part of Azerbaijan and There are Karabakh economic regions. It is irresponsible for a US State Department official to make such a statement on the basis of fake Armenian propaganda. We would like to emphasize once again that, The Republic of Azerbaijan operates in its sovereign territories, “the statement said.

What really happened?

Azerbaijan MNsaid in a statement that, foggy in the morning of March 26 weather and members of illegal Armenian armed groups using limited visibility to units of the Azerbaijani Army snowtried to commit a provocation. Noted that, As a result of immediate measures, members of illegal Armenian armed groups were forced to withdraw. To the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent about the incident and The Russian-Turkish Joint Monitoring Center was informed.

There are no casualties among the units of the Azerbaijani Army.

According to the Armenian media that, A total of three members of the illegal separatist armed groups were killed and 19 militants were hospitalized during the clashes on March 24-26.

From the first day of these events, the Russian military and political There was an immediate reaction from the management. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who has not been heard from for 12 days, called his Azerbaijani counterpart Zakir Hasanov. On March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin Putin In a busy schedule, he set aside time for a telephone conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Pashinyan during the conversation Putinhe said that, “Farrukh, one of the Azerbaijani soldiers of the Russian military and It is very important for the Pirs to demand that the villages retreat to their original positions. ” Pashinyan called for an investigation into the actions of Russian peacekeepers. Putin and Pashinyan agreed to make efforts to resolve the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Apparently, as a result of this agreement, the above-mentioned statement of the Russian Defense Ministry appeared. Both this statement and Washington and Calls from Paris to official Baku provoked a sharp reaction in the Azerbaijani public.

Lawyer Alasgar Mammadli says that, The Russian Defense Ministry is the eye of the whole world snowHe made the following statement without any shame in the attack on Ukraine’s territorial integrity: “It simply came to our notice then. Signed on 22 February and Article 1 of the Declaration, which has not yet dried ink MNshould be put in the eyes of the authorities who made this statement. Article 1 of the Declaration of Alliance states:

Russian Federation and The Republic of Azerbaijan bases its relations on allied interaction, independence of the two countries, state sovereignty and territorial integrity and mutual respect for the inviolability of state borders, as well as non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality of rights and mutual benefit, peaceful settlement of disputes and not to use force and or build on a commitment to non-threatening force.

In this case, how can Russia use expressions that overshadow the independence, state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan? How can he use the terms “zone of responsibility of the peacekeeping forces” and “units of the Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces” to undermine the territorial integrity of the country he considers an ally?

The question then arises, to whom are these statements in Article 18 of the Declaration addressed?

“Russian Federation and International terrorism and extremism in the Republic of Azerbaijan and separatist threats, transnational organized crime, weapons, drugs and illicit trafficking in their precursors, human trafficking and information– in the fight against crimes in the field of communication technologies, as well as other new security challenges and unite their efforts in neutralizing them.

If Russia owns separatists and illegal armed groups in the territory of Azerbaijan and keeps them out of this Declaration, who will this document create an obligation for? ”

The lawyer thinks so that, The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry immediately withdrew its statement because the Russian Defense Ministry had officially violated the alliance declaration and once again to the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and require respect for the inviolability of state borders.

“Also, 10 The November statement called for the immediate operation of Article 4 (the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is placed in parallel with the withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces), otherwise Article 4 of the Lachin Corridor execution must declare that it will be suspended until. Today’s conditions dictate this step “– A. Mammadli emphasized.

Political scientist Farhad Mammadov recalls that, For the first time, the Russian Defense Ministry accuses Azerbaijan of violating the rules of the tripartite statement: “What has Azerbaijan violated?” 10 November 2020The statement, signed in 2006, does not contain a clause entitled “Responsibility zones of Russian peacekeepers.” There is only one note: the Lachin corridor, which is temporarily controlled by peacekeepers! ”

The political scientist believes that, Azerbaijan maintains high tension in Karabakh in the current situation and It is expedient to achieve complete demilitarization of the area where the peacekeepers are temporarily staying:

“Neither the letters of war criminal Arayik Harutyunyan to the President of Russia, nor UN Secretary-General, US State Department and Neither French statements nor the Russian Defense Ministry’s bulletin should prevent Baku from taking decisive action. No one can do anything! ”

According to F. Mammadov according toKarabakh Armenians must understand that, All their troubles come from the war criminals in power there: “No one will take their opinion into account, there will be more problems. Armenia will be hysterical, but it will not be able to do anything. Karabakh should be clear to Armenians now that, Nothing depends on them until they receive Azerbaijani citizenship. Otherwise, all of them will go to the territory of Armenia, their country of citizenship. The fate of Hadrut Armenians, who are Armenian citizens, should be an example for them.

The expert emphasizes that, Necessary warnings were given to the opposite party and All mediators are aware of the steps to be taken by Azerbaijan:

“If the Armenians themselves do not remove the remnants of their armed forces from the territory of Azerbaijan, the destruction of military infrastructure and armed people in Karabakh is a requirement of the time. The snow is melting, the fog is melting, and thus the enemy’s personnel and opportunities are opened for the systematic destruction of military infrastructure with high-precision weapons. The presence of Russian peacekeepers in the region cannot prevent this and will not be, because the main target is armed terrorists. 3 servicemen died these days and The injured are Armenian citizens and to it according to responsibility of the Armenian militarypolitical of management and It falls on Pashkina personally. “
