Greece: Armenia’s territorial integrity must be respected

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Greek Foreign Ministry has spoken in favor of respect for the preservation of Armenia's territorial integrity, as Azerbaijan's incursion into the territory of the country enters its second week.

On the morning of May 12, the armed forces of Azerbaijan violated the border of Armenia in the southern province of Syunik, advancing 3.5 kilometers and surrounding Sev Lake, which is situated on the border between the two countries but is predominantly a part of Armenia. On May 13, the Azerbaijani military committed more border violations against Armenia, advancing near Vardenis (Gegharkunik province) and Sisian (Syunik province).

"Tensions along Armenia's border are of particular concern. Armenia’s territorial integrity has to be respected," The Greek Foreign Ministry said in a tweet.

"It is essential to avoid any unilateral actions that could undermine regional peace and stability."

So far, France, the United States, India, Canada and Iran have voiced the need for Azerbaijan's withdrawal and the preservation of Armenia's territorial integrity.
