#Armenian side has repeatedly voiced out about recruitment of foreign terrorist fighters & jihadists by #Turkey from various "hot spots" in #MiddleEast,& their subsequent transfer & deployment to region w/purpose of committing atrocities against #Artsakh people.

Интервью министра агенству :”Для безопасности Нагорного Карабаха будет сделано все. Признание независимости #НагорногоКарабаха со стороны международного сообщества является важным шагом,важным инструментом, мерой обеспечения.”
Our warmest #congratulations to our colleagues and the friendly people of #Serbia 🇷🇸 on the occasion of the #Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia. May our two nations, that have walked together the path of history, be as brotherly as ever! 🙌🏻 🎉
Sincere congratulations &best wishes to #India & its friendly people celebrating 77th #IndependenceDay.
🇦🇲🇮🇳friendship is anchored on centuries-old history &shared values.
Dynamics of bilat relations in recent years bring about new important perspectives in enhancing our agenda.
Congratulations to the brotherly people and the government of #India🇮🇳 on the occasion of #RepublicDay!
India is a valued partner with whom #Armenia🇦🇲 is looking forward to pursuing an ambitious agenda of cooperation and raising partnership to a new level.
All these indicate #Turkey’s aspirations to turn our region along w/other its neighboring regions to a platform for its #expansionist ambitions. We strongly condemn Turkey’s provocative policy in our region, & value the coop of all forces interested in stability of the region.
In meeting w/#US State , FM of #Armenia highlighted that #Azerbaijani aggression is accompanied by direct involvement of #Turkey, manifested in its military-technical support to Azerbaijan & transferring of foreign terrorist fighters to region.
#Turkey, which annihilated #Armenians in their historical homeland & up until now justifies that crime, supports #Azerbaijan to carry out same genocidal acts in #SouthCaucasus. This genocidal Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance is serious threat to the region.

We warmly congratulate our #India’n colleagues on the occasion of the #RepublicDay. #Armenia highly values deep-rooted historic bonds and traditionally cordial relations based on mutual respect, friendship & trust.
FM to :"Turkey has positioned itself in very aggressive way against #Armenia & #NagornoKarabakh. We have been receiving disturbing reports about recruitment of #terrorists from areas, which are controlled by #Turkey in #Syria."

#Armenia will take all necessary means & steps to prevent those mass atrocities. Political-mil leadership of #Azerbaijan will pay high price for committing such grave crimes against Armenians of #Artsakh, for importing #terrorists to region & for undermining regional security.
FM to :"Mil are entering our civilian settlements, mutilating bodies, beheading our compatriots. They have recruited terrorists from #Syria & #Libya via #Turkey. We are again facing alone three enemies- Turkey, #Azerbaijan & foreign terrorist fighters."
We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims following yesterday's terrible #earthquake in #Elazıg & wish speedy recovery to the injured and rehabilitation of affected areas of #Turkey.
Having failed to achieve any success in battlefield, Azerbaijani side on one hand speaks about its imaginary gains, on other hand spreads fake news on shelling of Azerbaijani settlements by #Armenia. Each provocation by #Azerbaijan will receive adequate response from Armenia.
We call on intl community,also #Russia,#CSTO, MGCC & Co-Chair countries to express clear & targeted response to these actions of #Azerbaijan & undertake effective steps aimed at its prevention & unconditional withdrawal of Azerbaijani armed forces from territory of #Armenia.
FM : "If #Azerbaijan is so “determined” to put blame on #Armenia, then I’m calling AZ to accept investigative, risk reduction, & observation mechanisms for ceasefire violations, which they have been rejecting to cover their their bellicose & aggressive intentions."
FM :"Armenian people, #Armenian Armed Forces, Armenian state has been & remain as the guarantor of security of #NagornoKarabakh. We are absolutely confident & determined to repel this aggression & to stand very firm for the freedom of the people of #Nagornokarabakh.
Accusations of Ministry of Defense of #Azerbaijan against Armenia on shelling of #Dashkesan region of Azerbaijan from #Vardenis region of #Armenia is absolutely false & is aimed at preparing grounds for expanding geography of hostilities, including aggression against Armenia.
Provision of modern weapons by #Israel to #Azerbaijan is unacceptable. We have repeatedly informed our Israeli counterparts about this. It is especially painful at time when Azerbaijan, w/support of #Turkey, is carrying out large-scale aggression against #Artsakh & #Armenia.
As of 9 Oct, 20 #civilians (8females & 12males, 1child & 19adults) have been killed. While publishing document got verified info that #Azerbaijani subversive group killed at least two civilians in #Hadrut
town–lady & her #disabled son.
FM to : "Aggression is preplanned not just by #Azerbaijan but w/massive support of #Turkey which has its mil presence & which has been showing its aggressive, unilateral support to Azerbaijan & aggressive approach towards #Armenia which is disturbing."
Letter of FM to #UN SG :"As guarantor of security of people of #Artsakh, #Armenia will take all necessary measures to protect inalienable rights of Artsakh's people & will give adequate response to #Azerbaijan'i aggression."

AZ forces attacked civilian-mil infrastructure in #Vardenis, as result of which one civilian was killed. In contempt of calls of intl community to end hostilities, #Azerbaijan, w/active political-mil support of #Turkey, expands geography of hostilities to territory of #Armenia.
In meeting w/ of House of Reps, FM stressed that #Azerbaijan’s aggression is existential threat to sec of #Artsakh peaceful population, which can be counteracted by intl community through full realization of right of Artsakh ppl to self-determination.
Urgent❗️: 2 reporters (citizens of #France) from got injured in #Martuni region of #Artsakh from #Azerbaijani bombardment. They are being transported to the hospital.

Transfer of #jihadists to #NagornoKarabakh conflict zone reveals intentions of #Turkish-#Azerbaijani leadership to give conflict inter-religious character. #Armenia will continue to undertake consistent steps in fight against intl terrorism, cooperating w/all interested partners.
On the #PonticGenocide #RemembranceDay, in solidarity with brotherly Greek people, #Armenia honours the memory of the Greek martyrs and innocent victims who were exterminated by the #OttomanTurkey.
We welcome fact that MGCC at level of their leaders reacted to use of force in #NagornoKarabakh conflict zone by way of strong condemnation. #Armenia has been consistently rejecting & condemning threat or use of force by #Azerbaijan & direct involvement of #Turkey in hostilities.

Replying to
This is a completely new manifestation of expansion of #terrorism, when foreign terrorist fighters & jihadists from #MiddleEast have been deployed to conflict zone in #OSCE area; is a serious threat to the international & regional security & stability.
We strongly condemn aggression of mil-political leadership of #Azerbaijan against Republic of #Artsakh. #Armenian sides will act confidently w/all their capacities to ensure security of ppl of Artsakh & to deliver appropriate military & political response.
We have been & remain committed to peaceful resolution of #NK conflict. What we have unfortunately been dealing w/is absolutely maximalist position of #Azerbaijan which denies any recognition of interest & concerns of ppl of #NagornoKarabakh & its authorities & ppl of #Armenia."
#Armenia will continue to undertake all necessary measures to impose peace on #Azerbaijan and establish a #ceasefire regime which will entail precise and effective mechanisms for maintaining and verifying it on the ground.
This is second time that #Azerbaijan violates ceasefire agreement achieved through personal mediation of the leader of Minsk Group Co-Chair country thus demonstrating to intl community its treacherous nature, which we have been dealing w/for decades.
FM met w/ MGCC. Reiterated implementation of agreements on cessation of hostilities & establishment of sustainable #ceasefire maintained by verification mechanisms, highlighted need for continuation of peace process w/in #OSCE #Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship.
Spox of :“The Azerbaijani side, w/no single evidence, now claims that Armed Forces of #Armenia have deliberately targeted #Khizi & #Absheron regions. This is another lie, which obviously proves that #Azerbaijan is preparing ground for provocation.”

In phone conversation w/FM , FM highly appreciated personal contribution of #France and President in reaching ceasefire agreement, & noted that mil-political leadership of #Azerbaijan continues large-scale mil aggression against #Artsakh.
In meeting w/members of Congressional Caucus on #Armenian Issues, FM stressed that #Azerbaijani aggression is threat to existential physical sec of #Artsakh population, & makes it imperative for intl community to undertake resolute & immediate steps against it.
Defense forces of #NagornoKarabakh are left w/little option but to defend themselves, as they're confronting attacks by #Azerbaijan across line of contact. Our priority is to repel attacks of Azerbaijan & to compel them to come back to negotiating table.

The above-mentioned fact is not merely confirmed by intelligence services of #Minsk Group Co-Chair countries, a number of our partners & international community, but also by the direct testimonies of the #terrorists.
FM of #Armenia & FM of #Russia Sergey Lavrov discussed situation in #NagornoKarabakh conflict zone & implementation of agreements on cessation of hostilities. Minister Mnatsakanyan underlined establishment of #ceasefire maintained through verification mechanisms.
All actions undertaken by #AZ side will receive adequate response w/means at disposal of armed forces of #Armenia. We warn that #Azerbaijan's provocative actions will lead to irreversible mil-political consequences, for which leadership of Azerbaijan bears full responsibility.
Spox : We strongly condemn act of #vandalism agnst building of #Consulate General of #Armenia in #Lyon, which was preceded by incidents of #desecration of Armenian monuments in other cities of #France & massive anti-Armenian actions by #Turkish extremist organizations.
We welcome address on the commemoration day of #ArmenianGenocide, by which the President #Biden clearly defines the mass atrocities committed against Armenian people in the early 20th century as #genocide.
As continuation of its #warcrimes against the people of #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh, #Azerbaijan'i armed forces now uses #Phosophorus munitions over the forests which are next to civilian infrastructures. This weapons are prohibited by intl law.
Notre entière solidarité avec la France et le Président #EmmanuelMacron (). Les propos offensants, le soutien au #terrorisme, l’instrumentalisation des questions religieuses pour incitation à la haine n’ont pas leur place dans le monde civilisé
FM of #Armenia : “One of the most important issues is introduction of #verification mechanisms, that will enable us to maintain #ceasefire more effectively. We are working in this regard & involvement, determination & work of Co-Chairs remain very important.”
In phone conversation w/#Swiss Federal Councillor , FM highly appreciated principled statement of & expressed conviction that #Azerbaijan should bear appropriate intl responsibility for the criminal encroachments against people of #Artsakh.

FM to : "We repeat, once again, there were many proposals to establish very precise risk-reduction, investigative, ceasefire-regime-strengthening mechanisms, which were strictly denied, because use of force has been exactly instrument of #Azerbaijan."
We are deeply concerned about the ongoing clashes in #Jerusalem. We call on all parties involved to exercise restraint in order to reduce tensions and prevent further civilian casualties.
FM in briefing at : “ MGCC leaders contributed to achieving #ceasefire thrice. #Armenia ensured its approval thrice. However, #Azerbaijan was unable to be responsible for its agreements & has violated them, probably being directed by #Turkey.”
FM to :“There's overwhelming factual evidence on presence & ongoing transfer of foreign #terrorist fighters by #Turkey from #Syria & #Libya, confirmed by intelligence of MGCC states & by coverage from conflict zone itself.”
Devastating consequences of heinous #aggression by #Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani armed forces continued shelling city of #Stepanakert & other #civilian settlements after #HumanitarianCeasefire agreed in joint statement of Oct 9, violating their commitment.

As a result of deliberate shelling of the civilian infrastructure of #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh by armed forces of #Azerbaijan, Gohar Agha Upper #Mosque, Yeznik Mozyan Vocational School, #Shushi Technological #University were targeted.
#Azerbaijan continues to strike #Stepanakert, capital of #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh, residential buildings & gas pipeline have been damaged.
Since appearing in #Azerbaijan, #Turkish air forces have been carrying out provocative flights along line of contact btw #Artsakh & Azerbaijan. Provocative actions of Turkish armed forces seriously undermine reg security & hinder efforts of intl community to cease hostilities.
“Deeply saddened by news of the devastating wildfires that broke out across #Greece. We express solidarity & deep sympathies w/brotherly people of 🇬🇷 in this troubling times.”
FM : “We will not stop working w/ #Minsk Group Co-Chairs to establish #ceasefire, based on 4 points expressed in joint statement of October 10 & reiterated in other meetings as well. We will continue to work consistently in this regard.”

Happy #NationalDay of the Republic of #Serbia. Wish peace & prosperity to the friendly people of #Serbia.
#Azerbaijan armed forces launched airstrikes at masterpiece of #Armenia'n architecture- Holy Savior #Ghazanchetsots Cathedral located in cultural capital of #Artsakh, #Shushi. This action fully fits into its policy of #Armenophobia developed for decades.
