MFA: Establishing border control checkpoint at beginning of Lachin road is necessary

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan (MFA) has commented on the Armenian MFA's false statement against Azerbaijan dated March 8.

"It is known that the political leadership of Armenia has admitted that the Armenian forces have not been withdrawn from the territory of Azerbaijan. Although it was announced that the forces would be withdrawn in September 2022, it is clear that this has not yet happened. As for the obligation to withdraw which forces from the territory of Azerbaijan, we remind you once again that according to paragraph 4 of the statement of November 10, 2020, it is intended to withdraw all Armenian armed forces from the territory of Azerbaijan, and manipulations in this matter are inadmissible," the commentary reads.

In order to prevent the policy of aggression and illegal actions of the Armenian side against Azerbaijan, it is necessary to establish a border control checkpoint at the beginning of the Lachin road: "Azerbaijan will continue to take all necessary measures to protect its national interests and security."
