“Azerbaijani armed forces have started offensive operations against Armenia in 4 directions. Later, 2-3 more directions were added to them. Azerbaijan tries to imagine that these actions are a response to some provocation by Armenia. But we must unequivocally note that this information is completely false and fake, not true,” Pashinyan said.
Prime Minister Azerbaijan that he did not accept the peace agreement said:
“During the negotiations, Azerbaijan makes territorial claims to Armenia from Nrnadzor (Mehri region) to Yerevan.”
Regarding the attitude of Russia and Europe to the events, Mirgadirov said that there are serious conflicts of interest here:

Rauf Mirgadirov: “Pashinyan’s statement is demogogy”
He called Pashinyan’s statement demogogy:
“Firstly, Azerbaijan put forward 5 principles for signing the peace agreement, and there is no clause about territorial claims. On the contrary, it was noted that the states refused to recognize each other’s territorial integrity and territorial claims. Secondly, if Azerbaijan had made territorial claims against Armenia, the mediators would have commented on it.”
According to him, if military operations begin, someone is carrying out the order of the Kremlin:
“Look, after the military operations, Prime Minister of Armenia Pashinyan appealed to Russia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and asked for military assistance. Even 2020In the war of 1990, he appealed to Russia and the CIS after a few days, not at the beginning of the war. But this time he behaved differently, he also mentioned the bilateral agreements between Moscow and Yerevan.”
Military expert: “Armenia’s application to the CSTO will not have a serious effect”
Military expert Adalat Verdiyev assessed the September 12 event as Armenia’s evasion of peace.
Adalat Verdiyev told Meydan TV that Armenia resorted to various provocations in the last month:
“The number of equipment collected by Armenia in the area shows that they are ready for provocation in advance. Also, the visit of the Minister of Defense of Armenia to the United States and the arrival of the assistant of the State Department to Yerevan rule out that yesterday’s events were a coincidence. But Armenia has been violating the ceasefire more intensively in the last 1 month.”
“As for the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, they know that under the current conditions, violations of the ceasefire will not attract the attention of the international community, because this is the territory of Azerbaijan. Violation of the ceasefire on the border can create a basis for appeal to Western countries and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the expert emphasized.
Adalat Verdiyev is of the opinion that Armenia’s application to the CSTO will not have a serious effect:
“Yesterday, Nikol Pashinyan applied for the 9th time to the CSMT, and the previous 8 applications were not considered, nor discussed. Therefore, it is not credible that the September 12 appeal will have a real result. At least until now, the leaders of the organization have not made a statement about supporting the provocations of Armenia.”
“Why did Azerbaijan conduct an operation on the border and not against armed separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh?” the military expert answered the question as follows:
“The answer to your question is on the maps of 1920, look at the names, Basarkecher, Garakilsa, Gorus, Gafan, these are all historical lands of Azerbaijan. We can never agree to fire against our soldiers from our historical lands. If this happens, such provocations will be painful for Armenia. The defeated side should know the limit, but the opposite happens, it breaks the ceasefire.”
He does not think that from Western countries To Azerbaijan increase pressures:
“In the last month, Azerbaijan has been spreading information about provocations by Armenia. But there were no recommendations from Paris and Washington to Yerevan. Azerbaijan is completely free to eliminate the security of its soldiers. “Any fired enemy position is a legitimate target for us.”
