Armenian villagers have foiled Azerbaijan’s attempts to advance – MP

PanARMENIAN.Net - Lawmaker Andranik Kocharyan from the ruling Civil Contract party has said that Azerbaijan has tried to violate Armenia's border in different parts in recent days, but the residents of the villages have prevented Baku's attempt.

"Residents of our villages are capable of realizing their rights on these areas at the moment," he said, Sputnik Armenia reports.

According to Kocharyan, both the border troops of the National Security Service and the counterintelligence forces of the Ministry of Defense have recorded some facts, about which clear information will be provided.

"This will create a new situation, I suppose a favorable situation, which means that we must be the masters of what is ours," he added.

The lawmaker did not deny that the Azerbaijani military advanced 100-150 meters into Armenian soil days ago.

Asked whether the Armenian side has managed to return to their initial positions since, Kocharyan said: "I can’t say. If you asked me tomorrow, I would answer your question”.
