The Ministry of Defense of Armenia does not refute that the deaths
of two Azeri soldiers on the Armenian-Azeri border were possibly
from Armenian fire; however, the ministry representatives say that
"exclusively the Azeri side is responsible for the soldiers' death."
On Saturday (March 3) the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan released
information, saying that "In the early hours of March 3 the Armenian
armed forces violated the ceasefire regime, as a result of which two
soldiers of the Azeri army died in Ghazakh region of Azerbaijan."
Spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia Davit Karapetyan told
ArmeniaNow that the Armenian side in response to the violation of the
ceasefire regime from the Azeri side has taken punishment measures,
which, most probably, have resulted in deaths in the Azeri army.
"As a rule the ceasefire regime is violated by the Azeri side,
which result in death cases, however, the Minister of Defense of
Armenia always says that the Armenian side gives a response to only
those cases if an Azeri sniper kills our [Armenian] soldiers; and
if the Armenian side takes punishment measures as a result of which
[Azeri] soldiers die, then Azerbaijan bears the whole responsibility
for it," Karapetyan says adding that he cannot confirm whether the
Azeri solders' deaths were the result of Armenian retaliation.
Karapetyan says that the Azeri side started frequently violating the
ceasefire regime in February, carrying out actions in the territory
of Armenia, in particular, in regions of Tavush province, too.
"Last Sunday [on February 26], they [Azeris] started firing from
afternoon to evening, they kept on firing for several times throughout
the whole week, too. We were very afraid, and were about to flee. They
have not fired so much for a long time," says 80-year-old Roza
Galstyan, resident of Nerkin Karmraghbyur village, Tavush province.
>From February 26 to March 3 in the Nagorno-Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of
Contact, the Azeri side registered more than 300 cases of the ceasefire
regime violation, whereas, on February 6-12 - about 160 cases.
