Armenia faults Azerbaijan for Karabakh unrest
YEREVAN November 13.
. Azerbaijan is to blame for destabilising Nagorno Karabakh, the
landlocked mountainous region in the South Caucasus, Armenia's
National Assembly parliamentary speaker Galust Saakyan said on
Thursday
Destruction of a helicopter gunship was "one more step Azerbaijan has
taken to disrupt negotiations and undermine all agreements for a
peaceful settlement, building trust and preserving the ceasefire
regime" in a region of conflict between the two countries, he said.
"This is a provocative act staged by Azerbaijani official authorities
seeking to undermine fragile peace and stability in the region. Baku
authorities bear full responsibility for escalation of tension and
attempts to destabilise the situation," Saakyan added.
Armenia's Defence Ministry said on November 12 that Azerbaijan's army
had downed a Mil Mi-24 helicopter of the Nagorno Karabakh defence
army, killing three pilots. Azerbaijan's military said the helicopter
had attacked their positions and had been destroyed in retaliatory
fire.
Armenia's Foreign Ministry blames Baku for "blatant violation" of
accords to settle the dispute.
