17:53 22/02/2013 " INTERVIEWS
Azerbaijani media reported that during the Brussels meeting of the
Defense Ministers participating in NATO operations in Afghanistan,
the Armenian Defense Minister asked his Azerbaijani counterpart to
stop the ceasefire violations. According to the Azerbaijani media,
the cause for this is that the Armenian side sustains heavy casualties.
Panorama.am asked Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun
Hovhannisyan to comment on the matter.
"As always, Azerbaijan indulges in wishful thinking. The Armenian
side has never concealed that ceasefire violations are unacceptable
and on various occasions urged the Azerbaijani side not to violate
the ceasefire regime.
It is noteworthy that there is not only the question of the Armenian
side's casualties, but rather the question of contact line casualties
sustained by both sides," the spokesman said.
When asked what, after all, took place during the Brussels meeting,
Artsrun Hovhannisyan said, "The Armenian Defense Minister urged his
Azerbaijani counterpart to respect the ceasefire, which will help
prevent casualties on both sides."
