"Armenia has still not withdrawn its troops from Azerbaijani territories in flagrant violation of the provisions of the well-known Trilateral Statement," said Speaker of Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova in a meeting with the Chair of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russian Federation Valentina Matviyenko within the framework of her working visit on April 13 to Saint Petersburg city of the Russian Federation, APA reports.

"What is more, Armenia is abusing the Lachin Road for military purposes and to smuggle our natural resources looted by them over here out of Azerbaijan. Therefore, representatives of Azerbaijan’s civil society are holding a peaceful protest on this road while Armenia is trying to mislead the international community with false claims about the alleged blockade of the same road. Taking advantage of the current presence of the European Union mission in its territory, Armenia has taken steps to escalate the situation and has resorted to military provocations," said the Speaker.
