Yerevan, 16 March: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated at the
meeting with OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs today that the statements
of Azerbaijan, according to which an Armenian sniper has killed a
nine-year-old child, are an "absolute slander".
Mediamax reports referring [to] the press service of the President
that Serzh Sargsyan confirmed the readiness of the Armenian side
to continue negotiations within the framework of the agreements,
reached at the recent trilateral meeting, given the mediation of the
Russian leader in Sochi [5 March]. It was noted that during the period
after the meeting the Armenian side has realized consistent steps for
informing the society on the reached agreements and for creating an
atmosphere of trust between the sides.
President also touched upon the provocations from the part of
Azerbaijan, which continue after Sochi meeting, including the killing
of an Armenian military, the destructive statements, in particular,
the spread misinformation, according to which a nine-year-old child
has died from the shot of an Armenian sniper.
Serzh Sargsyan noted that these accusations are an "absolute slander",
since actions against civilian population, in particular, against
children, do not fit in the moral image of an Armenian soldier.
