“We strongly condemn the provocative actions of recent days on the
Line of Contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan and on the
border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which resulted in the loss of
many lives and sharply raised the tension,” Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian said in comments to Armenpress.
“We express our deepest condolences to the families and relatives of
the victims of the Azerbaijani attacks,” he added.
“Baku continues to grossly violate the ceasefire agreements from May,
1994 and February, 1995, ignore the calls of the Heads of the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chair countries to refrain from provocative actions and
from the escalation of the situation, and the appeals of the
international community that through the use of force the conflict can
not be resolved , and that only through negotiations stability and
peace can be achieved. The recurrent adventurism of Baku pursues an
aim to undermine the negotiation process,” Minister Nalbandian said.
“Being the initiator and instigator of the provocations, Azerbaijan is
trying to put their responsibility on the other sides. However, it is
obvious that by rejecting the proposals of the international community
on the establishment of a mechanism of investigation of incidents,
Azerbaijan is assuming the whole responsibility for the ceasefire
violations,” he added.
Accoridng to the Foreign Minister, “It is high time for the
international community to sober the Azerbaijani leadership, which has
lost the sense of reality and is going against the value-system of the
international community.”
“Together with the Co-Chair countries Armenia will take the necessary
steps for halting the provocative acts, for the stabilization of the
situation, for continuation of the negotiation process aimed at the
settlement of the conflict exclusively through peaceful means,”
