π¦π²π¦πΏ Ruben Rubinyan, referring to Baku's statements that the Armenian side transported weapons and mines through Lachin, said that firstly, Armenia has no troops in Nagorno-Karabakh and did not transport weapons, secondly, it is not even written in the statement of November 9 that such a thing cannot be.
π£ "Even if RA did it, it's still the same, there is no reference to it in the statement, but I repeat that Armenia has neither troops nor armed forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, nor has it transported weapons and ammunition. If we talk about the blockade. And what, were weapons transported through the gas pipeline, that they damaged the gas pipeline and do not allow gas to be in Karabakh, were weapons transported through the power line or the Internet? From these actions, it is obvious that this false story about the transfer of weapons is a means by which they try to justify the closing of the corridor," said the deputy speaker of the National Assembly in an interview with Azatutyun.

π¦π²π¦πΏ With the ongoing blockade of the Lachin Corridor, Baku demands the International Court of Justice of the United Nations to oblige Armenia to stop the "mining of Azerbaijani territories" and the use of the Lachin Corridor to "transport mines" to Nagorno-Karabakh. The representative of Azerbaijan, Elnur Mammadov, claimed in his speech that they have new facts.
π£ "More than half of those mines were found in civilian areas. Explosive traps were found in the houses, the purpose of which is to kill or maim the Azerbaijanis who want to return home," he stated.

π We have initiated a trilateral-quadrilateral mechanism in order to take advantage of the opportunities that our region presents. We had the Turkey-Azerbaijan-Georgia-Iran tripartite and quadrilateral mechanism and recently when the Northern Corridor ceased to be an alternative, in order to strengthen the Trans-Caspian, East-West Middle Corridor, we also formed tripartite mechanisms with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, I mean Azerbaijan and Turkey in the center.
π I hope that Armenia will also be able to join us in the future when we implement these plans. Therefore, this Middle Corridor becomes very crucial. [Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut ΓavuΕoΔlu] |1lurer.am|

Yeghishe Kirakosyan, Armenia's representative for international legal affairs, responded to Azerbaijan's false claims in the International Court of Justice that Armenia is transporting mines through the Lachin Corridor and placing them near settlements.
π£ "Armenia has placed mines in its sovereign territory for purely defensive purposes and has done so taking into account repeated acts of aggression by Azerbaijan. Armenia does not place mines outside its sovereign territory, especially in civilian areas, and does not attempt to racially target citizens. Azerbaijan is trying to create false evidence based on the mines it collected after its illegal acts of aggression to support its petition. This motion is baseless." |armenpress.am|
