The entire world knows that it was Azerbaijan that violated
the ceasefire in the contact line between the Azerbaijani and
Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces, on June 18, RA President Serzh Sargsyan
said in Berlin. The Armenian leader spoke of the international
community's calm response to an act of sabotage by Azerbaijan, which
killed four Armenian soldiers and injured another four.
"So what? The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, the EU Representative
for the South Caucasus make general assessments of to the incident,
calling on the sides to avoid provocations. What sides do they mean?
Who is to blame for this incident? We - Armenia, Azerbaijan and
Nagorno-Karabakh - signed a trilateral ceasefire agreement in
1994. We signed an agreement with Azerbaijan's assistance and Russia's
mediation. Thus, we undertook legal commitments not to violate the
ceasefire," he added.
Citing Martin Luther King, the RA President expressed hope that one
day a real dialogue with Armenia's neighbors will be started and all
the sides will gather around one table, as it meets the region's
interests. "I am sure that a day will come when, asked whether a
dialogue is possible in our region, we will say 'yes'," Sargsyan said.
