*Yerevan is committed to a peaceful solution to the Karabakh conflict, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a statement:
▫️Today, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry issued a manipulative statement, trying to transfer responsibility for the refusal of a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Karabakh to the Armenian side
▫️The military aggression carried out by Azerbaijan against the people of Artsakh with the direct participation of Turkey and the terrorists sponsored by Turkey is aimed at exterminating the indigenous people of Artsakh.
▫️Armenia consistently supports the unconditional implementation of the ceasefire agreements of October 10 and 17, agreed with the assistance of the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries.
▫️We call on Azerbaijan and its sponsor Turkey to abandon their traditional policy of sabotaging the efforts of the international community aimed at establishing a controlled ceasefire.
*UEFA, governing body of the European football, decided to suspend all club and national team competition matches in Armenia and Azerbaijan given the tense security situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the organization’s Executive Committee said on Tuesday.
*The Iranian Army and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) launched large-scale air defense drills, codenamed Modafe’an-e Aseman-e Velayat 99 (Guardians of Velayat Sky 99). The drills involve the Iranian Army’s air defense units and the Air Force along with the IRGC’s Aerospace Force. Just a few days earlier, the Iranian military deployed additional artillery pieces near to the border with Azerbaijan.
Taking into account that the main direction of the current Azerbaijani advance in Karabakh is along the border with Iran, even a limited Iranian military response to regular ‘accidental’ attacks on its territory and violations of its airspace could create difficulties for Azerbaijani forces. For example, the Iranian decision to shoot down combat drones operating too close to the border could undermine Azerbaijani air dominance in this particular chunk of the frontline.
