Azerbaijan’s groundless accusations on “mine laying” against Armenia fell apart with ruling of UN court – PM Pashinyan
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Azerbaijan’s groundless accusations on laying mines made in all international platforms against Armenia fell apart after the UN court (the International Court of Justice) rejected Azerbaijan’s request for provisional measures against Armenia, ARMENPRESS reports.
“The International Court of Justice unequivocally rejected Azerbaijan’s request for provisional measures against Armenia, with which Azerbaijan was accusing Armenia in some mine laying. Thus, we can note that the groundless accusations against Armenia on mine laying that were being voiced for several months in all international platforms by Azerbaijan have collapsed, and this is extremely important. Regarding Azerbaijan’s obligation to open the Lachin corridor, defined by the court, I have to stress that Azerbaijan must undertake visible efforts and measures for opening the Lachin corridor. The first and most primitive step, for example, can be a call or request to open the Lachin corridor made by the highest circle of government addressed to the so-called eco-activists. In any case, the absence of concrete actions by Azerbaijan on opening the Lachin corridor can and must lead to concrete international consequences,” PM Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting.
