In recent days, the transportation of manpower, ammunition, mines, as well as other military equipment from Armenia to the illegal Armenian armed groups in the territory of Azerbaijan, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed, has intensified.

Axar.az reports that the Ministry of Defense released information about this.

These transports are carried out especially at night and taking advantage of foggy weather conditions.

Illegal Armenian armed groups are carrying out construction of new roads on several routes, as well as expansion of old trails, passing through some mountainous and dirt areas. For this purpose, military, engineering and special equipment are used, as well as people recruited for military service on a contract basis and local residents as labor force.

In the last few days, the intensification of illegal construction and improvement works by Armenians on the Khankendi-Khalfali-Turssu and the Khankendi-Kosalar-Mirzaler-Turssu roads passing north of this route was recorded by the technical surveillance tools of the Azerbaijan Army. These roads are also used to secure and supply combat positions of illegal Armenian armed groups.

Despite numerous requests from the Azerbaijani side and discussions held in this regard, no necessary measures have been taken to prevent the transportation of weapons and other military equipment.

Taking into account the situation, local necessary control measures were implemented by the units of the Azerbaijan Army in order to prevent the use of the dirt roads north of the Lachin road for illegal activities, as well as the escalation of the situation by the transportation of weapons and ammunition by Armenia and the commission of potential provocations.
