On Monday, Armenia’s Security Council accused Azerbaijan of “preparing the ground for fresh provocations and an offensive on Nagorno-Karabakh”. It urged Azerbaijan to “immediately begin talks on a comprehensive peace treaty”.
Armenia also demanded an investigation into the Russian peacekeeping contingent’s actions during Azerbaijan’s “incursion” and urged the Russian forces to take “concrete steps” to diffuse tensions.
