Chairman of the France-Karabakh Friendship Circle, French MP Francois
Rochebloine issued a statement concerning the helicopter of NKR Air
Forces downed by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan.
"France-Karabakh Friendship Circle is aimed at establishing peace
and dialogue between the peoples of the South Caucasus. Accordingly,
we condemn this new outbreak of violence. We note that this time,
as always, it is the doing of the Azerbaijani regime," said the
Chairman of the France-Karabakh Friendship Circle, French MP Francois
Rochebloine.
As Rochebloine notes, France is a country, as well as an OSCE Minsk
Group co-chair, which took responsibility to assist the parties with a
view to find a political solution in the Karabakh conflict settlement.
"On October 27, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, together with
his Armenian counterpart at the meeting with the French President
Francois Hollande pledged to take steps to reduce tensions. This
provocation negates obligations undertaken by Azerbaijan. We hoped that
Baku will start to act more rationally and constructively after the
Armenian-Azerbaijani meeting held on 27 October in Paris. Breaking the
promise given just a few days ago Azerbaijani regime shows that it is
not a reliable partner in the region," Francois Rochebloine summed up.
As NKR Defense Ministry press service reported earlier, on November 12,
at around 1:45 pm, Nagorno Karabakh Air Forces' Mi-24 helicopter was
shot by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces during military training flight
in the airspace in the eastern section of Karabakh - Azerbaijan
Line of Contact. The land, on which the incident occurred, is in
close proximity to the line of contact. Opponent after the incident
continued intense bombardment scene from weapons of different caliber.
The place where the helicopter was shot is close to the Line of
Contact. The enemy continued to fire shots from weapons of different
calibers after the incident.
Meanwhile, the press secretary of Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun
Hovhannisyan wrote on his Facebook page that Azerbaijani Armed Forces
have carried out an unprecedented provocation on the border with the
Republic of Nagorno Karabakh; this has also led to escalation of the
situation. In the same time the fabrications of the Azerbaijani side,
as if the Armenian helicopters had attacked their positions and they
allegedly had merely responded to this step, are senseless. "The study
of the wreckage of the helicopter will confirm that he was not armed.
The escalation of the Azerbaijani side has continued even after
the helicopter fall down. Moreover, the Azerbaijani side continued
shelling, not allowing even to get closer to the pilots. The
consequences of this unprecedented escalation will be very harmful
for the Azerbaijani side and will remain as a stain on the conscience
of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan. Captain of the
helicopter was Major Sergei Sahakyan. Information about the fate of
the crew will be given later," Artsrun Hovhannisyan stated.
