Former Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan, speaking ahead of a regular court session on the abuse of official position, addressed the recent border tension, which resulted in 4 Armenian fatalities and 1 wounded individual. He expressed concern that Azerbaijani pressure might lead to new concessions.

Sargsyan remarked, “Yesterday, during the government session, we heard vague indications, and it seems that as a result of these pressures, certain concessions will be made without any reciprocal gains.”

The response from the former president suggests that the possibility of a new war exists, particularly when both parties can engage in prolonged military operations. While lacking precise details about the army's resources, he suggests that the Armenian military is being compelled to operate with limited resources. 

Armenia’s ex-leader was thus referring to the Military Police report that preceded the bloody incident in Inner Khand, where Azerbaijan accused the Armenian side of initiating the gunfire. Armenia’s Military Police stated that if this claim is verified, those responsible for breaching the peace will face the consequences, holding them accountable for their actions.

In the given context, Serzh Sargsyan expressed his concern about the possibility of further Azerbaijani pressure leading to a situation where Armenian soldiers might not even feel motivated to resist. He suggested that resistance from Armenian soldiers could lead to investigations and punishments. Sargsyan also indicated that the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace treaty would be perceived as a double capitulation, particularly given the increasingly authoritative rhetoric coming from Baku.
