Artsakh MFA welcomes the reaction of the international community, both at the level of foreign ministries and individual political and public figures, condemning Azerbaijan's provocative steps to escalate tensions and terrorize the population of Artsakh, the Artsakh MFA reported.

“We are convinced that the unequivocal position of the world community in response to Azerbaijan's attempts to arrange a humanitarian catastrophe in Artsakh and ignite a new war will be an important collective contribution to stabilizing the situation.

We are confident that the peacekeeping efforts of Russia, the clear and adequate position of the international community, backed up by political measures, will deprive Azerbaijan of the opportunity to qualify the systematic gross violations of the rights of the inhabitants of Artsakh as its internal affair,” the statement says.
