The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, rejecting any attempts to involve Armenia in escalating rhetoric. The Armenian government is committed to peace and has proposed creating a joint mechanism with Azerbaijan to investigate border incidents. However, Azerbaijan has not responded to these proposals.
Armenia reaffirmed its right to maintain a strong army for self-defense within the framework of international law. The country has no offensive goals in the field of defense and security. Armenia also offered to establish a mutual arms control mechanism with Azerbaijan, but this offer has been ignored by Azerbaijan.
The Armenian government remains dedicated to the peace agenda and will not be swayed by attempts to provoke conflict. The focus is on resolving border incidents through diplomatic channels and creating mechanisms to prevent misinformation. Armenia is committed to upholding international law and maintaining peace and stability in the region.
