It is noted that in order to stabilize the situation, "adequate response measures" are being carried out, but without the use of artillery and drones.

Recall that the situation on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan escalated after the military conflict in 2020, when part of the territory of Karabakh passed to Azerbaijan, and the Gegharkunik and Syunik regions of Armenia became border regions. Baku does not recognize the current borders of Armenia, claiming rights to part of the territory of the republic. The procedure for demarcation and delimitation of borders proposed by Russia has not yet begun.
