Karygiannis calls on Azerbiajan to respect ceasefire

OTTAWA – The Honourable Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament for
Scarborough-Agincourt, called on the government of Azerbaijan to
ensure that the ceasefire agreement along the Artsakh and Azerbaijan
border is respected.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Junior
Sergeant Armen L. Hovhannisyan, who was killed in a border skirmish on
January 19, 2014.” said Mr. Karygiannis. “I pray that the peace talks
will put an end to loss of life.”

Mr. Karygiannis made a Member’s Statement in the House of Commons,
which read, in part:

“The envoys of the Minsk Group of countries are, at present, visiting
the region and these violations serve only to complicate their work.
…

Canada has always been, and will continue to be, a supporter of peace
talks between the parties. The OSCE Minsk Group should be the only
venue for the resolution of this conflict. I am asking that we work to
ensure that no future aggressive actions, such as the recent one by
the Azeri military along the border, take place so that negotiations
toward peace can continue constructively.”
