ALEXANDER ARZUMANYAN SPEAKS ABOUT KILLED ARMENIAN SOLDIERS AND RUSSIA'S OBLIGATION
12:30 | March 20,2015 | Politics
Speaking at the 15th session of the Armenia-EU Parliamentary
Cooperation Committee, Armenian lawmaker Alexander Arzumanyan referred
to the Karabakh conflict saying 'the situation in the conflict zone
gives little hope.'
Azerbaijan rejects the proposals of the Minsk Group mediators, thereby
jeopardizing the Co-Chairs' efforts of the last six years," he said.
Alexander Arzumanyan then reminded that three Armenian soldiers were
killed and another four wounded in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of new
ceasefire violations committed by Azerbaijan on March 20. He also cited
the Co-Chairs' statement about attempted reconnaissance incursions.
"Azerbaijani provocations are expressed by bellicose rhetoric and
anti-Armenian appeals. They threaten to resolve the conflict through
military means," said Mr Arzumanyan.
He stressed that Azerbaijan has comparatively increased its armament
in 2010-14 by 249 percent, acquiring 88 percent of the weapons from
Russia. "As a member of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia is obliged not
to supply weapons to any side," Arzumanyan said.
The lawmaker once again underlined that the Minsk Group is the only
format for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. "Armenia supports
and is committed to the Minsk Group format."
