Comments of Armenian Prime Minister Nikola Pashinyan regarding the decision of the United Nations International Court of February 23, 2023 contradicts the court decision and is the next attempt by Yerevan to issue the desired for the actual, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry noted that Pashinyan’s statement that the court allegedly recorded the closure of the Lachinsky road does not coincide with the text of the court decision on temporary measures, and the court decision does not mention the closure of the road.
“is regretted that the Prime Minister of Armenia cannot accept that the court has rejected the two main statements of Armenia – that the protest of the group of Azerbaijani eco -activists on the Hankendi -Lachin road was allegedly organized by the Azerbaijani government, and that Azerbaijan supposedly prevents gas supply and the provision of utilities to the Armenian population, and distorts the justification of the court on this issue.
From the commentary of the Prime Minister of Armenia about the obligations of Azerbaijan regarding the Lachinsky road, it seems that he still has not understood the item of the tripartite statement of November 10, 2020, which states that Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of the movement of citizens, vehicles and goods On the Lachin road in both directions. Azerbaijan guaranteeing traffic safety on the Lachinsky road should not be understood as the creation of opportunities for abuse of road, and it was repeatedly stated that the Azerbaijani side would not allow this, ”the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
