Armenian Acting PM Nikol Pashinyan, at today’s government cabinet session, said that steps are underway to remove Azerbaijani troops around Lake Sev in Armenia’s Syunik Province, Hetq.am reported.

“Yesterday morning, the Azerbaijani armed forces carried out a provocative operation to cross the state border of Armenia in ​​Lake Sev. I want to say that since yesterday, in fact, there has been no significant change in the situation. The situation remains the same, which means that there are Azerbaijani soldiers near Lake Sev,” Pashinyan said.

He said that Armenian military reinforcements have been dispatched to the area and that the situation has not escalated into fighting.

According to Hetq.am, Pashinyan accused Azerbaijan of using falsified border maps to justify its incursion into Armenia.

“Work has been underway since yesterday to evacuate Azerbaijani soldiers from the area,” said Pashinyan.
