The recent events in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), the trend of steady tension being maintained are a cause for concern. Deputy Defense Minister Arman Sargsyan told this to reporters Monday in the National Assembly of Armenia.

To the remark that a proposal was made by Artsakh to increase the number of Russian peacekeepers there, he said: "If in response to that there were any proposal from Russia to increase the number, to conduct an investigation, everything is provided at the level of information. Information is perhaps disseminating faster than we can talk about it here."

As for the Armenian foreign ministry statement which spoke about conducting an investigation and finding out how the Azerbaijanis invaded the area of Artsakh overseen by the Russian peacekeeping forces, the deputy minister said: "We are talking about sensitive topics...the relevant bodies should talk about it."

Asked whether he confirms that it happened through Russian mediation, Arman Sargsyan responded: "I respond in a way that security be ensured. An investigation will be carried out, you will be informed about it. When the Russian peacekeepers do, you will be informed about it."

According to him, the overall situation remains the same in Parukh village of Artsakh.

"At the moment, there are no major clashes in Artsakh. But the wave of escalation may increase at any moment because our peace is fragile. Due to the events happening in the world right now, it is not ruled out that any state will attempt to destabilize the situation," the Armenian deputy defense minister stressed.
