PanARMENIAN.Net – There is a strong military and political balance
between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, which is one of key components
of stability in the conflict zone, Artsakh President said.

Commenting on the situation at the border in an interview with Military
Diplomat magazine, Bako Sahakyan said that ceasefire violations have
become more frequent but they cannot “change the existing balance of
forces or undermine the morale of Karabakh army.”

“Artsakh continuously suggests measures to strengthen trust. We offered
to withdraw snipers from the contact line but the Azerbaijani side
rejects any proposal however constructive these could be,” President
Sahakyan said.
