They also cut off road connections between some parts of Artsakh, creating additional local blockades in all regions. The people are facing growing risks of massacres. [Artak Beglaryan]
❗️The latest information that I managed to get from Nagorno-Karabakh is that the intensity of hostilities has sharply decreased. And we hope that the military escalation will not continue.

🗣️ We have read the text, and since the Republic of Armenia did not participate in any way in the formation of this text and did not participate in the discussions, the first consideration is that the text mentions the Armed forces of the Republic of Armenia and refers to the remaining units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh.
❗️Firstly, this fact is not very clear to us. We have repeatedly said that Armenia has no army in Nagorno-Karabakh since August 2021. However, in any case we take this statement and its acceptance by the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh into account.
