Opposition MP Tigran Abrahamyan stresses that Azerbaijan has made no official statements regarding the incursion of its troops into Armenian territory or the occupation of Armenian border areas, adding Baku has expressed no willingness to negotiate the issue.

In a social media post on Friday, Abrahamyan, who represents the Pativ Unem faction, pointed to Azerbaijan’s significant investments in fortifications and infrastructure in the territories it currently controls, arguing that such spending suggests Baku does not expect to withdraw from those areas in the near future.

“If those territories were to be returned in one, two or three years, why would Azerbaijan spend such large sums there?” he wrote.

Abrahamyan criticized the Armenian authorities, saying the government’s response has largely been limited to occasional brief statements referring to the uncertain process of border demarcation between the two countries.

“Unlike the local authorities, Azerbaijan is consistently setting and advancing its agenda,” he said, adding that these developments are unfolding “at the expense of Armenian interests”.
