ARMINFO News Agency, Armenia Tuesday Yerevan: To curb the destructive policy of Azerbaijan, the mediators must move from statements to concrete actions Yerevan May 30 Mariana Mkrtchyan. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group pointed out for the first time that it was Azerbaijan that violated the ceasefire agreement and opened fire. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated this at a joint press conference with the OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier on May 30 in Yerevan.

"However, this is obvious without these mechanisms, as evidenced by the last statement of the Minsk mediators. But this is not the first address statement of the co- chairs. They repeatedly spoke with targeted statements directed to Azerbaijan, that there is no need to aggravate the situation in the region, it is necessary to reaffirm the commitment to the peaceful settlement of the conflict, to respect the mandate of the mediators, to refrain from attempts to transfer the settlement process to other formats, and to introduce mechanisms for investigating the incidents. This list can be continued. Even if there are indirect statements, it immediately becomes clear to whom they are addressed," said the diplomat. He recalled, that Armenia and Artsakh were always for the implementation of term less three parted agreement of 1994-95, unlike Azerbaijan. According to him, mediators did not only make statements but also sent official letters calling on to respect the agreements reached.
