India has been following, with concern, the situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, said Arindam Bagchi, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs of India in media queries on recent developments along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

The statement runs as follows,

“Border incursions through military movements can destabilize the situation and lead to renewed hostilities. We call upon the transgressing side to pull back forces immediately and cease any further provocation.

India has always stood for peaceful resolution of bilateral disputes through political and diplomatic means. Peace and stability in the South Caucasus region is important from the regional security perspective.”
