Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan commented on the statement of Azeri media suggesting that Armenian Defense Minister asked his Azeri counterpart to put an end to ceasefire violations over major losses on Armenian side.

“As usual, Azerbaijan distorts the fact. Armenian side has always stressed ceasefire violation as unacceptable, with the fact resulting on deaths on both sides of the conflict.

Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan urged his Azeri counterpart to respect the ceasefire norms to avoid further deaths,” Hovhannisyan said.
