“We continue to call on the sides to show restraint, refrain from taking actions aimed at escalating the tension and solve the emerging issues through dialogue,” he added.
Since May 12, units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces crossed the state border of Armenia to take steps to occupy Lake Sev and the area adjacent to Lake Sevan. Armenia formally applied to the CSTO on May 14. In recent weeks, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have regularly fired on Armenian positions on the border with the Yeraskh region.
