As of the morning of May 15, the situation created after the encroachments on some border areas of Syunik and Gegharkunik regions of the Republic of Armenia by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces on May 12 և 13 under the pretext of "border adjustment" has not been resolved yet. Despite the fact that as a result of the actions taken by the Armenian subdivisions, the Azerbaijani military had to leave some parts, some of them are still in the territory of the Republic of Armenia.

The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia emphasize the need for a peaceful settlement of the situation, however, once again declaring that encroachments on the sovereign territories of Armenia are absolutely unacceptable, the Azerbaijani side is obliged to return to its starting positions without preconditions.

It should be noted that in all three directions, where the Azerbaijani armed forces tried to ensure positional advance, the whole territory, the military and the ways of their support them are under the full control of the Armenian armed forces.

Negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the conflict, which began on May 12, are expected to continue today.

Given the huge amount of misinformation spreading on the Internet  and various media about the current situation, we once again urge you to refrain from disseminating unverified, moreover false information. The Ministry of Defence will make regular clarifications on the situation during the day.
