What happened yesterday was a planned provocation. The presence of Armenian soldiers in that area shows that there was a well-thought-out plan, Azerbaijan`s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov said in a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia, OSCE Chairman-in-Office Bujar Osmani.
Jeyhun Bayramov noted that Lachin residents are planned to return to Lachin in 2023.
“The mine threat and similar measures are aimed at preventing their return. If Armenia’s provocations continue, our response will be very heavy for them. The peace process has no alternative,” the FM added.
