14:05 * 28.06.14
The opposition Heritage party's political secretary has expressed
concerns over the Armenian authorities' inaction to Azerbaijan's
repeated gun attacks against the country's eastern border.
Speaking to Tert.am, Styopa Safaryan said he really wonders why
Armenia does not convene a working meeting with Collective Security
Treaty Organization to discuss possible measures to suppress the
Azerbaijani acts of sabotage.
"The Armenian-Russian agreement, which was prolonged in 2011, focused
on joint defense, also with Azerbaijan. So it applies to all the
borders," he explained.
It comes after Azerbaijan's overnight gun attacks against caused
considerable damage to several border villages of Armenia. The armed
violence is thought to be significantly more intensive compared to
previous raids.
Safaryan said he doesn't think Armenia will suffer any harm of loss if
it tries to send certain messages to Andrzej Kasprzyk, the personal
representative of the OSCE chairperson-in-office. but added that
reliance on Russia, a key strategic ally committed to ensure the
country's border security, remains the major choice.
In more general terms, the politician said he sees the necessity of
adopting new approaches and methods to react to the enemy's
aggression. "Because military methods and the efforts of the Defense
Ministry are not enough for maintaining the ceasefire," he added.
