In recent days, we have a certain tension in the situation, especially in Artsakh, which is emphasized also by the disruption of the pipeline supplying natural gas to Artsakh. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the government of Armenia.

"At this moment, however, I will refrain from giving any additional assessment, as we are working with the Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] authorities and international partners to stabilize and normalize the situation. Let's not make assessments at the moment. Let's just record that there is such a situation and let’s try to focus on resolving the problems," Pashinyan added.
