Armradio.am. The risk of escalation remains high both along the Armenian border and in Nagorno Karabakh, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told a press conference today.
“My conclusion is based on Azerbaijan’s belligerent rhetoric, but there is other data, as well,” he said.
Speaking about the restraining mechanisms, PM Pashinyan said: “We are 100% confident that it is not the Republic of Armenia initiating aggressive actions and escalation. This is the reason why the Republic of Armenia agreed or made a decision to invite EU monitors.”
“The idea emerged because both before and after the 2020 war Azerbaijan would justify any escalation with Armenia’s actions,” he said.
