The Minsk Group Co-Chairs have no doubt, they clearly know which side is the aggressor and escalator, and ceasefire violator, Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan said during an interview with Armenia TV, commenting on observations what the Minsk Group and/or the international community are putting the equal sign. The president doesn’t share this view.
“When you say revise, than with whom do you want, in order to revise and improve? With Turkey? Or is everyone waiting with their arms open in NATO? Or should be simply become enemies with everybody, or tell everyone – you are helping Azerbaijan: and it’s just us against the world”, he said.
The masterminds and perpetrators of such condemnable provocations by the Baku regime should bear responsibility.
“One day all these documents will be released and you will see that it is mentioned in all of them that the representatives of Nagorno Karabakh must take part in the development of peace agreement and negotiations. This has been agreed by the three Co-Chairing countries. It is impossible to reach any agreement or make a decision without the Artsakh side”, Nalbandian said.
To the remark that Azerbaijan calls on the airlines of other countries to bypass the airspace of Artsakh for security reasons, Davit Babayan stressed that those are false and fabricated calls.”If a Turkish airplane really flew over the airspace of Artsakh, this documents that the mentioned calls are false. They are used to saying something, but doing something else. If it’s dangerous to fly over Artsakh, why do they fly over Artsakh themselves?” Artsakh President’s spokesperson said.
“Since mid-January 2017 tragic events occur as a result of use of heavy artillery and antitank missiles. A notable escalation took place in May, considering the reports on the use of guided missiles in populated areas along the contact line,” the report says.
Russia has been the dominant international player in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for the last ten years. It has been the only global power publicly presenting proposals to the Armenian and Azerbaijan leaderships and reacting instantly to changes in the conflict zone.
“Mission of the Minsk Group is undertaking measure ensuring the opportunity to find a solution, however, those finding solutions aren’t the Co-Chairs, but the two sides,” the Ambassador said. Touching upon position of France on the issue, Jean-Francois Charpentier said,
“Making this kind of loud statements after false accusations is the typical style of the Azerbaijani agitprop. The number one task of our army is ensuring the complete security of our people, and we are ready for this at any moment in any event, especially that the Armenian Army has not only professional soldiers, but also opportunities surpassing the adversary’s armaments and strategictechnical characteristics.”
The Azerbaijani defense ministry has released yet another disinformation, mentioning that their military has ‘destroyed a command vantage point and a surveillance system in the Artsakh-Azerbaijan line of contact. The defense ministry also posted a poorly staged footage of the socalled destruction.
