Presence of almost 10,000 Armenian troops in Azerbaijan is of serious concern - President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 21. The presence of almost 10,000 Armenian troops on the territory of Azerbaijan is of serious concern, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during a phone call with US State Secretary Antony Blinken, Trend reports.

The President of Azerbaijan emphasized that it was a matter of serious concern that Armenia was using an auxiliary road to the Lachin road to carry out illegal military transports, rotation of personnel in Azerbaijani territories where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed, as well as the fact that about 10,000 servicemen of the Armenian armed forces were still stationed in the territory of Azerbaijan. In this regard, the head of state stressed the necessity of establishing a border checkpoint at the end of Azerbaijan's Lachin road on the border with Armenia.

President Ilham Aliyev said the Armenian side had been recently abusing the presence of the European Union's mission in this country to pursue a policy aimed at deliberately escalating the situation, pointing to repeated violations of the ceasefire by Armenian armed forces along the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border and the illegal Armenian units in Azerbaijani territories where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed.
