Azerbaijan is trying to drag Armenia into full-scale military action.

Armenian PM Pashinyan:

Some forces, both internal and external, are trying to drag Armenia into the war.

I confirm once again that the Armenian Armed Forces are not in Nagorno-Karabakh.

They won't succeed. No matter how difficult it may be, particularly emotionally, we must not give the opportunity to some forces, external and internal, to jeopardize Armenian statehood.

Armenian PM Pashinyan:

The situation along the borders of Armenia is currently relatively stable, but I emphasize that the main goal of this operation is to involve Armenia in a military operation.

Pashinyan says Armenian authorities should not take any uncalculated, drastic and adventurous actions, expects Russian peacekeepers to take action to stabilize the situation in Karabakh.

Medvedev has a story to tell over Armenia:

One day, one of my colleagues from a fraternal country told me: “Well, I’m a stranger to you, you won’t accept me.”

I answered what I had to: “We will judge not by biography, but by deeds.”

Then he lost the war, but strangely stayed in place.

Then he decided to blame Russia for his mediocre defeat. Then he gave up part of the territory of his country. Then he decided to flirt with NATO, and his wife defiantly went to our enemies with cookies.

Guess what fate awaits him...
