Illegal Armenian armed formations continue to conduct illegal activities on the territory of Azerbaijan, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed.

According to Caliber.Az, the statement came from the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan on March 24.

“A fact of laying with the involvement of engineering and special equipment of the new Khankendi-Kyosalar-Mirzyalar-Turshsu road to the north of the Khankendi-Khalfali-Turshsu road was established. The new road is designed to carry out military transportation to the combat positions of illegal Armenian armed formations [in Karabakh]," the ministry's statement reads.

The illegal activities carried out by the Armenian side in the Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan, which is a gross violation of the provisions of the tripartite statement, as well as the failure of the peacekeeping contingent to fulfil its obligations, create prerequisites for growing tension in the region, according to the ministry.

"We declare that all responsibility for possible losses as a result of such provocations and illegal actions lies with the military-political leadership of Iravan,” the statement adds.
