BAKU'S CONFIDENCE IN IMPUNITY - MAIN REASON FOR CEASE-FIRE VIOLATIONS BY AZERI SIDE

PanARMENIAN.Net - As the Azeri party is still speaking out with militaristic statements it is quite clear that the statement by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs was addressed to Azerbaijan, Press Secretary of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)Hamlet Gasparian stated, RA MFA press service reports. "At the same time the cautiousness of the Co-Chairs, who did not name the initiator of the violations, will hardly contribute to the cease-fire preservation", H. Gasparian noted. In his words, in a letter addressed to the FMs of the Minsk Group and the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Armenia explains that the main reasons for the cease-fire violations is Azerbaijan's confidence in its impunity. "All know that Azeris violate the cease-fire regime. Nevertheless no one condemns their actions, what results in repeated violations", the MFA Press Secretary added. "If earlier it was not always clear, who was the first open fire, today it is obvious that the Azeri are trying to advance their positions and change the status quo. Thus, we are convinced that a common call to the preservation of the cease-fire regime will do no good. Moreover, we hope that the Co-Chairs and those, who are interested in peace and stability in the region, will resort to more definite steps", H. Gasparian resumed.
