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, Armenia's Foreign
Minister said.
"I believe that all these attempts, which include the incident in
the Martakert region of Nagorno Karabakh 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," Edward Nalbandian said.
"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," he said, the RA MFA
press office reported.
Two residents of Chinari village - Levon Petrosyan and Rafik Soghoyan -
were killed by the Azeri side on June 18.
