"After the establishment of the Lachin checkpoint, relevant conditions were created for the transparent, safe, and well-regulated passage of Armenian residents in both directions on a daily basis, and, since April 23, the passage of hundreds of Armenian residents has been ensured," said Jeyhun Bayramov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, during his meeting with the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Delegation in Azerbaijan Dragana Kojic, APA reports.

He noted that the establishment of normal communication between the border guards of Azerbaijan and Armenian residents resulted in the opening of fire at the checkpoint on June 15 by Armenia, which could not digest this process, thus hindering the safe passage through the Lachin border checkpoint.

It was noted that Azerbaijan is currently taking measures to investigate this attack by Armenia that created an obstacle to safe passage through the checkpoint. Furthermore, it was emphasized that guarantees by Armenia that such provocations will not be repeated in the future are necessary.
