It is already the second day, տհատ there is an explosive situation in the vicinity of Sev Lich (Black Lake) of Syunik region․ The reason is that some groups of servicemen of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces crossed the state border of the Republic of Armenia and took actions to enclose the lake. Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at the Security Council session.

“The RA Armed Forces carried out tactical countermeasures. As a result of the tactical countermeasures of our armed forces, the Azeris stationed in some adjacent areas left the occupied territories. No case of use of firearms or other weapons was registered by the representatives of the RA or Azerbaijani Armed Forces. However, about 250 military of the Azerbaijani armed forces are still inside our state borders in some parts of Syunik and Gegharkunik regions.

I instruct the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Ara Ayvazyan, the Acting Minister of Defense Vagharshak Harutyunyan, and the Secretary of the Security Council Armen Grigoryan to take measures to launch consultations under Article 2 of the Collective Security Treaty in order to coordinate the positions of the CSTO member states and eliminate the threat.

I instruct to take measures to start the procedures envisaged by the Collective Security Organization crisis response regulations. Although at the moment we do not have any cases of shooting or firefight in the mentioned locations,

The rapid implementation of the CSTO procedures is necessary to prevent further escalation of events, to protect territorial integrity, stability, sovereignty, we take these measures as a CSTO member. The Security Council session will continue behind closed doors,” he said.
