On the eve of the 17th anniversary of the establishment of ceasefire
in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, Azerbaijan committed another
provocation, by killing Arayik Balasanyan,a peaceful inhabitant of
Karabakh who was involved in agricultural activities.

By such steps Azerbaijan is opposing not only the logic of the
peaceful settlement process but also is striving to maintain the
tensions by all means, making obstacles to the settlement of the issue
on the basis of proposals presented by the international community.
