Armenia turned to Russia for help due to the aggravation of the crisis on the border with Azerbaijan, the press service of the Armenian government said in Telegram. Such a decision was made in order to implement the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between Russia and Armenia. Requests were also sent through the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO) and to the UN Security Council "in connection with Azerbaijan's encroachment on the sovereign territory of Armenia." Following reports of military clashes on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Armenia then clarified that Pashinyan reported on "the details of the aggressive actions of the armed forces of Azerbaijan in relation to the sovereign territory of Armenia." The prime minister called Baku's actions unacceptable and pointed out the importance of an adequate response from the international community.
