Currently, there is a considerable risk of aggravation of the situation in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Hayk Mamijanyan, the secretary of the opposition "With Honor" Faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, said about this at Monday’s press briefing in the NA.

Mamijanyan noted that he does not want to go into details and open brackets in this regard, but the risk of increasing tension is too great.

"The situation causes concern—and that is a fact," the opposition MP emphasized.

Commenting on Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's threats of demanding compensation from Yerevan, Mamijanyan said that such statements are the result of the inaction of the current Armenian authorities.

According to him, the incumbent Armenian authorities should have actively raised the matter of Azerbaijan engaging terrorist mercenaries in its military campaign against Artsakh.

"Armenia's weak and cowardly foreign policy enables Azerbaijan to attack and make false accusations against Yerevan and the entire Armenian people," Mamijanyan concluded.
