Question: How will you assess the recent frequent cease-fire violations by Azerbaijan?

Tigran Balayan: Ignoring the numerous calls by the international community Azerbaijan over the last few days has continued the cease-fire violations along the line of contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan, Armenia-Azerbaijan border using weaponry if various calibers including mortars and grenade launchers, in the result of which there are 2 killed soldiers.

Azerbaijan grossly violates the oral arrangement of April 5 on the cessation of hostilities by which the cease-fire established by 1994 agreement between Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia was restored. Azerbaijan disregards the calls of the international community aimed at exclusively peaceful settlement of the issue.
