Yerevan's unconstructive policy hampering Karabakh conflict settlement
- Azeri official (Part 2)
The Armenian authorities are immediately responsible for the latest
events at the contact line, Elnur Aslanov, director of the Azeri
presidential administration's Political Analysis and Information
Support Department, told journalists in Friday.
"Armenians have chosen to continue their unconstructive policy, thus
hampering a peaceful settlement of the conflict. All this proves once
again that Armenia, unlike Azerbaijan, is interested in maintaining
this status quo, which, for its part, poses a direct threat to
security all over the region and creates obstacles for the region's
economic development," he said.
Azerbaijan has said more than once that maintaining this status quo is
unacceptable for region, but the Armenian authorities have been
avoiding peace talks, Aslanov said, adding that this situation poses a
threat to the whole region.
Tensions have been running high near the contact line between the
Azeri and Armenian Armed Forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone
in the past few days.
The Azeri Defense Ministry claims that Armenian soldiers made several
attempts to cross the line, but their attacks were rebuffed. Five
Azeri soldiers were killed and several more were injured.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said a few days ago that Armenia
adheres to a peace settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict but
will react to every destabilization attempt along the contact line
with Azerbaijan.
"We do not want an escalation of tensions but we will react to every
provocative action against our citizens, borders and Karabakh,"
Sargsyan said.
The recent escalations of tensions make Russia concerned. "We are
alarmed by reports about escalating tension in the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict zone. We are particularly concerned over a sharp increase in
casualties among soldiers as a result of ceasefire violations in the
beginning of this month. There have been casualties among civilians
too," Russian Foreign Ministry official spokesman Alexander
Lukashevich said.
