“The subdivisions of the Azerbaijani armed forces continue firing in
the direction of the Armenian positions and settlements, ignoring
the calls of the international community and particularly the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairs to observe the ceasefire, especially during the
Winter Olympics in Sochi,” the Armenian Ministry of Defense said in
a statement.

“This gives ground to conclude that the actions of the Azerbaijani
armed forces are either not controlled by the command, or this
provocation is targeted at destabilizing the situation at the line
of contact,” the statement reads.

The Azerbaijani side has violated the ceasefire a number of times over
the past days, opening irregular fire mostly at the line of contact
with NKR forces, the Ministry said. “The Armenian armed forces
confidently control the situation all along the line of contact,
strictly observing the ceasefire regime and will take response actions
only in case of targeted shots on the part of the rival.”

As for the allegations of the Azerbaijani propaganda machine, claiming
that the Armenian side violates the ceasefire regime at different
parts of the line of contact, the ministry said “the dissemination
of misinformation is a nasty attempt to mislead the international
community and its own people.”
