The opposition Armenia bloc calls for parliamentary discussions on the Azerbaijani military’s unlawful actions on Goris-Kapan highway.

At a parliament session on Monday, Armenia alliance secretary Artsvik Minasyan deplored the government’s “passive stance” on the issue.

"We witnessed illegal actions of the Azerbaijani military and, unfortunately, the passive stance of the government, which provided no explanations,” the MP said, stating the respective statement of the National Security Service (NSS) is not in the interests of Armenia and “says anything”.

Highlighting that Armenia is a parliamentary republic, Minasyan said the Armenia bloc demands that a format be created to hold discussions on the matter.

“The public needs to understand what is happening, especially when Azerbaijani terminology is now completely used in the NSS statement," he said.

Minasyan suggested that not only the NSS, but also representatives of the Prosecutor's Office, Defense Ministry and Foreign Ministry attend the parliamentary hearings on the issue.
