Chairman of Armenian Parliament's Standing Committee on Defense and Security Calls on Russia to Intervene in Border Fighting

Andranik Kocharyan, Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defense and Security has called on Russia to intervene in the fighting that broke out earlier today along the eastern Armenia-Azerbaijani border.  

"We are a founding member of the CSTO, and at the same time we have cooperative relations with Russia, the guarantor of the ceasefire regime after the 44-day war, which must respond to the violation of the ceasefire regime," Kocharyan said.

Earlier, the Armenian Ministry of Defense reported that Azerbaijani forces, using artillery fire, advanced into Armenian territory, capturing two Armenian military positions.

The ministry reports that the fighting continues.

Kocharyan said that the risk of a military escalation should be of concern to the international community, adding that the mercenaries who fought for Azerbaijan during the 2020 Karabakh war are still present in the region.

Russia to intervene??? This joke made me laugh loudly! The main concern of Russia is not to harm its so-called "pragmatic relationship" with Turkey (quasi owner of Azerbaijan). When Azeris shoot and kill Armenians in presence of Russian "peacekeepers" Russia stays silent, however, when the brother of the killed civilian acts out of rage they detain him. Russian authorities even don't care about their own citizens when it comes to their "pragmatic relationship" with Turkey. The "pragmatic relation" with Turkey even forced Russian authorities to abandon their national pride and dignity. They stayed "pragmatic" (read passive) even when their military jet was shot down over Syria (2015), or when their ambassador to Turkey was assassinated in Ankara (2016), or when Turkish/Azeri forces shot down a military copter over Nakhijevan and murdered two Russian servicemen (2020). And despite all of these, Russia invited Turkey to monitor the "ceasefire" in Artsakh. Disgusting politics, eh?
