The answer of Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan to the question of Tert.am

21 March, 2016

Question: President of Azerbaijan estimates the consolidation of the ceasefire regime along the border with Armenia and on the Line of Contact with Nagorno Karabakh as something strange. How would you comment on that?

Answer: It is more than strange that the head of a state explicitly opposes the implementation of measures aimed at saving people’s lives.

Moreover, this statement becomes ridiculous, when we take into account that under the trilateral agreement, signed between Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan and Armenia in 1995, consolidation of the ceasefire regime is also an international obligation of Azerbaijan.

The leadership of Azerbaijan accuses everyone of the maintenance of the status quo, while the very Azerbaijani leadership spares no effort, including acting contrary to the commitments taken, to maintain the status quo.

The odd and aggressive statement of the leader of Azerbaijan is initially addressed to his nation, as it has become impossible to distract the attention of the society and maintain hereditary power by escalating the situation along the borders and speculating the external threat.
