On the 17th anniversary of ceasefire, Azerbaijan has yet another time perpetrated a provocation, having killed an innocent Artsakh civilian, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman said, condemning the killing of Araik Balasanyan on May 11.

“Such acts run counter with the logic of the peaceful settlement of conflict, triggering escalation of tensions on contact line and hampering implementation of international communities' recommendations on conflict resolution,” Tigran Balayan stated.
