There are Azerbaijani servicemen in the vicinity of Sev Lich (Black Lake) in Armenia’s Syunik province, and the situation remains unchanged, acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the government sitting today. Yesterday the Azerbaijani Armed Forces undertook provocative actions and crossed the border of the Republic of Armenia in Sev Lich area. The acting PM said a large number of Armenian troops are also present in the area, but added that “the situation has not grown into military escalation and there has not been any exchange of fire and clashes.” Pashinyan described the incident as a pre-planned provocation, because the Azerbaijanis carry obviously falsified maps, which they use to prove that they are inside Azerbaijani borders. “The existence of fake maps indicates that we are dealing with an organized provocation,” Pashinyan said. The acting PM noted that the question of how the Azerbaijanis managed to cross the Armenian border and reach Sev Lick is a subject of a wider discussion and will certainly be considered.
