There are two options there: either indiscipline or deliberate actions aimed at terrorizing the civilian population. In both cases, Azerbaijan should investigate and take measures to stop them. But so as not to sound one-sided, I say, we are ready, let's investigate. Why does Azerbaijan refuse? Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted this in his remarks Tuesday in the National Assembly during the debates on the Armenian government’s performance report for 2024—and regarding the shootings on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

“I say, let's create a daily investigation mechanism together. There was an alarm, let's go and check on the spot. Maybe checking the next day is not effective because you can go and check on the spot, even whether the barrel of that firearm is hot or not, whether they fired from it or not. If they [i.e. Azerbaijan] are not the ones who are responsible for all this, why are they refusing to investigate?

I say, there are people both inside and outside Armenia, an attempt is being made to prove that Armenia is escalating [the tension]—but there is no such evidence. If there were such evidence, they [i.e. Azerbaijan] would very quickly have agreed to a joint investigation mechanism. They do not agree because the opposite will very quickly become clear.

There are people in the [Armenian] opposition who consciously or unconsciously serve that agenda. Now it's the 21st century, everything is monitored online, including in the entire world. So, yes, we must be responsible for our words, behavior, and we must learn from our mistakes as to how our steps, words—moreover, of all of us—can be used against us," Pashinyan added.
