📣 Azerbaijan bears moral responsibility for ensuring the well-being of Karabakh Armenians.
📌 This troubling situation is another evidence that the Russian Federation is neither a reliable guarantor of security nor a legitimate mediator for peace in the South Caucasus or elsewhere.
📌 Moscow is once again using the difficulties of Armenia and Azerbaijan for its own cynical and selfish aspirations. [US Helsinki Commission]

❗️ The Security Council of Artsakh adopted a statement, noting that a number of claims and views expressed by the RA Prime Minister at the press conference caused concern, as they do not correspond to the ideas of the nationwide struggle, as well as the position adopted by the people of Artsakh and the authorities.
📌 We are aware of all the consequences that arise from our adopted political line and reaffirm our position that the sovereignty of Artsakh and the right to live freely and independently in the historical homeland are absolute values. No coercion or threat can deter us from our decision to continue the struggle.
📌 Accordingly, we appeal to the international community to take responsibility for preventing the terrorist actions undertaken by Azerbaijan, the planned ethnic cleansing and the new genocide being prepared.

Fight with the active support of the Diaspora, which has always stood by the motherland in extreme situations.
📌 We call on the international community to stand by Artsakh, protecting Artsakh from annihilation and occupation."

📌 Answering the question, how do they explain CSTO's statement today that they did not receive an official notification from Yerevan about canceling the military exercises, Defense Ministry spokesman Aram Torosyan said.
🗣 "As the Prime Minister stated, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, taking into account the created military-political situation, considered the holding of the "Unbreakable Brotherhood-2023" military exercise in Armenia to be inappropriate and informed the CSTO Joint Staff Chief about it in an official letter on January 5." |azatutyun.am|

🇷🇺 Statements from Yerevan that Russia poses a threat to Armenia's security are nonsense, Maria Zakharova announced.
📌 She emphasized that the Russian military border guards have made a significant contribution to ensuring the security of Armenia and protecting the borders for decades.
🗣 "This is an objective reality that cannot be denied. Moreover, earlier the current leadership of Armenia publicly announced that the military presence of the Russian Federation corresponds to the national interests of the republic. And those adventurers who call our military to show the place of the door, obviously do not realize the real consequences of such a step," the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
