Azerbaijan’s subversive act at the contact line was planned by Ilham Aliyev before departure for St. Petersburg, RA National Assembly Standing Commission on Financial, Credit and Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan stated.

“Aliyev left St. Petersburg at the time when the operation he planned was under way to avoid explanations he would have to give on the incident,” he said.

“The OSCE Minsk Group should toughen position on Azerbaijan, otherwise the hysteria for a resolution of the conflict by use of force will persist. The international community should show its attitude in word and deed,” Minasyan said.
