On April 4 and overnight April 5 the Azerbaijani side violated the ceasefire regime 40 times by firing more than 900 shots from various caliber small arms at the Armenian positions in the Artsakh-Azerbaijan line of contact.
“Azerbaijan’s onslaught against de facto Nagorno Karabakh Republic took place on April 2, becoming the largest in-scale attack since the ceasefire of 1994, causing unprecedented casualties for both sides during 4 days. The territory of the Republic of Armenia was also subjected to attacks for a short period,” the report reads.
As the Central Information Department of the Office of the Artsakh Republic President reports, various issues regarding the life in Artsakh, the state-building process, regional trends and the Motherland-Diaspora ties were touched upon during the meeting.
From the positions of the Artsakh Defense Army, the monitoring will be conducted by Field Assistants to the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Michael Olaru (Moldova) and Ghenadie Petrica (Moldova), as well as staff-member of the OSCE High-Level Planning Group Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Farrelli (Ireland).
“On April 3 and overnight April 4 Azerbaijani forces violated the ceasefire regime 60 times, firing more than 900 shots at Artsakh positions from various caliber firearms, including sniper rifles. The Defense Army continued their service confidently and took countermeasures in case of necessity,” the Ministry said in a statement.
Allied and strategic partnership relations between Russia and Armenia have become really all-embracing by the time the two countries mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Novoye Vremya newspaper, TASS reported.
The Azerbaijani forces violated the ceasere refigime 16 times by firing more than 150 shots from various caliber small arms at the Armenian positions in the Artsakh-Azerbaijan line of contact.
“Lavrov also stated on Azerbaijan’s possible membership to EEU in his interview. It’s known that some Azerbaijani circles in negotiations with Moscow attempt to circulate this issue to gain Russian support in NK conflict settlement.”
We pay tribute to the memory of all heroes who fell repelling the attack of Azerbaijan against Artsakh and who gave their lives to prevent mass atrocities against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.
“We have noted the recent statements by the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and by the OSCE Chairpersonin-Offuce and express full support for the call to the sides to refrain from any actions that would undermine the ceasefire agreement.”
