Wings of Unity continues to signal Azerbaijan`s invasion of Armenia`s  sovereign territories

ArmInfo. Representatives of the "Wings of Unity" political initiative held a protest outside the  Armenian government building, where they handed over a statement with satellite images and coordinates confirming that Azerbaijan has advanced its positions and invaded the Republic's sovereign territories. Specifically, in the direction of Vayots Dzor and Gegharkunik.

During the protest, Shahen Harutyunyan, leader of the  Shant party (which will participate in the upcoming parliamentary  elections along with the Wings of Unity initiative - ed.), explained  to reporters that their goal is to be consistent in their actions and  continue to raise issues that concern them, demanding clear answers. 

According to Harutyunyan, for them, this is not a political struggle,  but a question of Armenia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"These issues must always be on the agenda so that we can find an  answer to why this is happening. Taking this opportunity, I appeal to  all citizens, especially those planning to vote for the ruling Civil  Contract party, and remind them that this is a matter of our  independence. We must not be indifferent to such issues," the Shant  party leader noted.

For his part, Vardan Pashayan, a member of the initiative, explained  that today they are directing their question to Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan. According to Pashayan, the issue isn't so much how much  progress the Azerbaijanis have made or what they're doing in these  positions, but rather that this is Armenia's sovereign territory, and  such actions must be assessed. Furthermore, as the initiative member  noted, the issue concerns the safety of residents of border villages.  "What's happening now is very similar to the scenario they used in  Artsakh. That is, while the authorities were insisting that  everything was peaceful and nothing was happening, Azerbaijan was  strengthening its position. With this action, we intend to prevent  further Azerbaijani incursions into Armenia's sovereign territories,"  the initiative member concluded.

As a reminder, members of the initiative previously held a protest  outside the Armenian Ministry of Defense and handed over a statement  with satellite images and coordinates confirming that Azerbaijanis  had invaded Armenia's sovereign territory. However, the Ministry of  Defense denied these claims, stating that Azerbaijani forces had made  no advance and that the new Azerbaijani position was located on their  own territory. While denying this, the Ministry of Defense apparently  unwittingly confirmed the enemy's advance.

The protest was organized after Arman Tatoyan, leader of the Wings of  Unity political initiative, announced that a new Azerbaijani  incursion had been detected on Armenia's sovereign territory, about  which the Armenian authorities had failed to inform the public.  Specifically, he reported that, according to available information,  they have established combat positions in Vardenis, as well as points  for small arms, mortars, and other large-caliber weapons.  Communications have been established, the Sotk gold mine in the  Vardenis community is directly targeted, solar panels have been  installed, operational-tactical and strategic roads have been  constructed, and shelters have been constructed through which they  can penetrate deep into Armenian territory. A similar situation,  according to Tatoyan, is observed in Jermuk, where positions designed  for mortars have been built. However, on the same day, Armenian  Defense Minister Suren Papikyan, speaking from the podium of the  country's parliament, dismissed Tatoyan's claims as lies.
