On September 13, 2022, a briefing was held for the representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Republic of Azerbaijan with the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov and Assistant of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Hikmet Hajiyev, the MFA told APA.

During the briefing, the participants were given detailed information about the immediate and adequate measures taken to prevent the tension and military aggression caused by the large-scale military provocations of the Armenian armed forces in the direction of the Kalbajar, Lachin, and Dashkasan regions.

It was stated that Azerbaijan's retaliatory measures were limited in scope, directed only at legitimate military targets, and did not target the civil population.

It was noted that this act of aggression, which took place on the border of the conditional state, is an element of the chain of military and political provocations committed by Armenia in recent days. Among such provocations is the gross violation by Armenia of the provisions of the tripartite declarations signed between the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the Russian Federation and the complete withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the territory of Azerbaijan, the continuation of the mining of the territories of Azerbaijan and the increase of militarization in the conventional border region, obstructing the opening of transport communications and opposing the peace process, taking destructive steps, not responding to the proposals of the Azerbaijani side to start concrete negotiations on a peace agreement, etc. violations have been brought to attention.

At a time when reconstruction works are being carried out by Azerbaijan in the liberated areas and huge investments are being made, the return of a group of IDP families to the area close to the military tension zone - Agali village of Zangilan region is not in the interest of the Azerbaijani side of the military tension in the region.

At the end of the briefing, the position of the participants was heard and the questions were answered.
