The Kremlin closely follows the situation in Nagorno Karabakh and reiterates that there can’t be an alternative to a peaceful solution to the conflict, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to RIA.
The Karabakh negotiations will require a very tough dialogue, if we are ever to find even a partial solution.
In addition to the ceasefire violations that shelled Artsakh’s military positions shortly after the ceasefire deal took effect today, the Azeri forces have also bombed residential areas in the town of Martuni, the State Service of Emergency Situations of Artsakh said.
The Armenian side continues to strictly adhere to the ceasefire regime, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said amid Azeri violations of the truce.
Azerbaijan violated the humanitarian ceasefire for the third time, which Artsakh’s presidential spokesperson Vahram Poghosyan described as “the Aliyev regime’s overt brazen attitude towards the entire civilized humanity.”
The Azerbaijani military violated the new humanitarian ceasefire agreement just 45 minutes into the deal and launched artillery attacks at Artsakh’s military positions in the north-eastern direction, the Armenian Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said.
The Armenian side will fully maintain the ceasefire from 08:00, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced.
Speeches and words of cultural representatives, artists and intellectuals, as well as Government bodies and politicians containing hatred towards ethnic Armenians mean that spread of hatred is in a closed chain and is encouraged by all parties in Azerbaijan.
’During the day the city was bombed a number of times. Fortunately, there are no destructions and casualties’’, Danielyan said, adding that at the moment the situation is calm.
The BBC has studied the videos showing two Armenian men taken prisoner and later shot dead by the Azerbaijani troops, confirming that the man giving commands in both videos is a native Azerbaijani speaker with a regional accent, and the helmets and rifles seen on the soldiers matched those used at least in some instances by Azerbaijani servicemen.
