Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbadnian is concerned about the
repeated violations of the cease-fire regime by the Azerbaijani party.
'Attacks against the civilian population, killings of innocent people
and the recent steps of Azerbaijani side, in general, are directed
towards the deterioration of the situation. I believe that all these
attempts, which include the incident in the Martakert region of Nagorno
Karabagh in the first days of March; persistent refusal, since April,
to return four Armenian citizens; killing of an Armenian serviceman
in Tavush region and now the killing of two civilian residents of
Chinari village, must be strongly condemned. Such steps endanger the
peace process. One wonders whether the real goal of the Azerbaijani
side is to create additional obstacles to the continuation of the
peace talks. The demands of a number of Azerbaijani NGOs to stop the
negotiations can only be seen as an evidence of this. It is obvious
from where those NGOs are directed. These steps raise serious concern
and have to be denounced', the minister said.
