FM urges Armenia to understand that provocations will not go unanswered
Title: Azerbaijan Warns Armenia Against Provocations
Baku, July 13 — Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeyhun Bayramov, has issued a stern warning to Armenia, urging them to refrain from provocations. He emphasized that Azerbaijan will not let any provocation go unanswered and retaliation will be swift and severe.
In a statement to journalists, Minister Bayramov stressed the importance of all parties, especially Armenia, recognizing the consequences of their actions. He emphasized that resorting to provocations not only hampers any ongoing processes, meetings, or negotiations but also escalates tension and worsens the situation.
The warning comes amidst recent tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Both countries have been engaged in a long-standing conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The situation has remained volatile despite international efforts to mediate a peaceful resolution.
Azerbaijan has consistently called for a peaceful settlement to the conflict and has expressed its commitment to dialogue. However, Armenia’s provocations and hostile actions have undermined these efforts, further exacerbating the already tense situation.
Minister Bayramov’s message is a clear indication of Azerbaijan’s determination to protect its territorial integrity and national interests. It serves as a strong reminder to Armenia that any aggression or provocation will not be taken lightly.
The international community has also been urged to play an active role in maintaining regional stability and resolving the conflict peacefully. The ongoing tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia pose significant risks to the stability of the entire region, making it imperative for all stakeholders to actively engage and contribute to finding a lasting solution.
Azerbaijan’s resolute stance against provocations demonstrates its commitment to peace in the region. While diplomatic efforts continue, it is crucial for all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize dialogue over hostility. True progress can only be achieved through peaceful negotiations and a genuine willingness to find common ground.
It remains to be seen how Armenia will respond to Azerbaijan’s warning. The coming days will be critical in determining the direction of the conflict and whether both countries can find a constructive path forward. Time will tell if mutual understanding and a commitment to peace can prevail over escalating tensions.
