In this regard, the response of the Russian Defense and Foreign Ministries on March 26 is complimented.
The reference of the other OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, as well as the active work of our partners in Armenia, should be underscored as well.

Touching upon the speculations of some public and political circles that the aggression of the Azerbaijani side in recent days is the result of certain agreements with the Artsakh authorities, the President described it as provocative and divisive.
“Our agreement is one – the fulfillment of the points of the trilateral statement, there can be no other agreement. Hence, such provocative statements are intended to divert us from real problems, from our unity, and to polarize society.
Not only can there be any agreement, but no decision will be made without discussing it with the Security Council members,” he said.
Subsequently, Minister of Defense of the Artsakh Republic Kamo Vardanyan delivered a report on the recent military-political developments in the country.
Issues related to taking adequate steps in the current situation were clarified again at the meeting. President Harutyunyan gave a number of instructions.
