The situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border continues to be tense, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the government sitting today.
“Azerbaijan continues to move its troops along the state border with Armenia and the line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh. The humanitarian situation in Nagorno Karabakh is extremely difficult,” the Prime Minister said.
“One truckload of Russian humanitarian cargo that entered Askeran the previous day cannot have any visible impact on the situation. Some of the humanitarian goods sent by Armenia and France, in 22 trucks, are still waiting for the opportunity to enter Nagorno-Karabakh, not far from the Lachin corridor, near Kornidzor. Another, larger amount of cargo is nearby,” PM Pashinyan noted.
“The international community continues to call for an end to the illegal blockade of the Lachine Corridor. All possible diplomatic efforts are being made to ensure the entry of humanitarian cargo into Nagorno-Karabakh and further supplies,” Nikol Pashinyan said.
He emphasized that representatives of Nagorno Karabakh are fully involved in these negotiations and discussions. “We should hope that a reliable international mechanism of Baku-Stepanakert dialogue will be created, and we encourage our partners in Stepanakert to engage in such dialogue,” Pashinyan said.
According to the Prime Minister, the Republic of Armenia has received new comments from Azerbaijan regarding the text of the peace treaty with Armenia. “We will work and provide our comments within a reasonable time,” he noted.
“Peace in our region has no alternative and is the only solution that guarantees the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and security of the countries in our region, which is a necessary and fundamental condition for normal development and progress. And today, also in this sense, it is urgent to overcome the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, and as I said, we will continue to take all possible measures in that direction,” PM Pashinyan emphasized.
In accordance with the Decree of the Azerbaijani President on measures related to the construction of the Khanmammadli-Gachagkend-Girmizikend-Khol Qarabujag-Khazar road in Neftcala district, the State Road Agency of Azerbaijan will facilitate traffic between 11 settlements, with a population of 15,000 inhabitants and will lead to the development of agriculture. The road infrastructure project is being successfully implemented, Azernews reports, citing AAYDA.

On September 13, the Tbilisi City Court found the former chief of Georgia’s Military Police Department, Megis Kardava guilty of embezzling 60,000 GEL belonging to the Ministry of Defense of Georgia, according to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia. He will have to serve a 4-year sentence according to the verdict.
Following a trial, the court sentenced Megis Kardava to 8 years’ imprisonment. However, through the application of the Georgian Amnesty Law, the sentence was reduced to 4 years’ imprisonment and a 6-month ban on holding public office or employment.
Based on the evidence presented by the Prosecutor General, the court found that in September 2011, during the ongoing investigation of the fabricated “espionage” case against Col. Sergo Tetradze in the Military Police Department, Megis Kardava withdrew 60,000 GEL from the accounting department of the Ministry of Defense at various times. With the help of the then Minister of Defense, Kardava fabricated documents claiming that the funds were used for operational and investigative measures in the criminal case.
Megis Kardava faced allegations of violating Article 182 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, specifically, Part 2, “A,” and Part 3, “B.” These sections pertain to the unlawful misappropriation of a substantial amount of another individual’s property or assets, carried out by a premeditated group.
According to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, Megis Kardava has faced a total of 11 criminal cases within Georgia. In 6 of these cases, guilty verdicts have been rendered, while the Tbilisi City Court currently has 5 pending criminal cases against him.
Megis Kardava was wanted by the Georgian authorities since 2013 on multiple charges, in eleven criminal cases. He was detained in Ukraine in 2017 and extradited from Kyiv in 2021. He was found guilty in the criminal cases of the Navtlugi special operation, 2006 prison riot, the torture and sexual abuse videos case, as well as in organizing the torture and sexual abuse of retired colonel Sergo Tetradze, for which Kardava was sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia.
