“The United States condemns in the strongest terms the large-scale ceasefire violations along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact, which have resulted in a number of reported casualties, including civilians. We extend our condolences to all affected families. We urge the sides to show restraint, avoid further escalation, and strictly adhere to the ceasefire. The unstable situation on the ground demonstrates why the sides must enter into an immediate negotiation under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs on a comprehensive settlement of the conflict.
The statement issued by Mr. Ban’s spokesperson said the UN chief is particularly concerned by the reported use of heavy weapons and by the large numbers of casualties, including among the civilian population.
During the military operations 2 soldiers were wounded from the Karabakh side. The Nagorno Karabakh forces conduct successful military operations in the southern part of the frontline also. By withstanding the enemy’s artillery and rocket attacks, the Defense Army units destroyed 2 enemy tanks and 1 battle vehicle. Details and developments will be reported in upcoming press releases.
“In his speeches, president Ilham Aliyev stressed that Azerbaijan was for peaceful settlement of NK conflict, however, if this conflict wasn’t settled, they’d apply force to liberate our territories from occupation.”
“Turkey also tries to divert the international community, as it yet has problems linked to Syria, the USA and Kurds. This has even been touched upon in Russian press, that Turkey’s special services, through their agents of influence in Azerbaijan, have set an issue of initiating provocations and diverting from them.”
Foreign Ministry of Armenia will jointly work with the Foreign Ministry of Nagorno Karabakh on signing a military cooperation agreement. President Serzh Sargsyan announced this during the National Security Council session. “It is necessary to have the text of the agreement, conduct relevant discussions and send it to the National Assembly”, the President noted.
Due to timely and professional actions of Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army it was possible to take the situation under control and not only take the situation under control, but also inflict considerable losses on the enemy.
Azerbaijani ongoing provocations and military actions subvert the stability of the region and undermine the efforts, taken to resolve the conflict.
The Azerbaijani offensive has created an unprecedented situation. Director of “European Friends of Armena” Eduardo Lorenzo Ochoa stressed in an interview with “Armenpress” that the lack of respect of international law and the basic principle of non-use of force has resulted in the gravest military escalation since the cease-fire was signed.
