YEREVAN. – It is not easy to deal with the sensitive Karabakh issue.

The Romanian Ambassador to Armenia, Sorin Vasile, told the above-said to Armenian News-NEWS.am. He stated this in response to a query as to whether Azerbaijan’s recent shooting down of a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Air Force helicopter is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement. 

“I know that negotiations are currently underway within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is engaged in the Karabakh issue” Vasile noted.

He added that both the OSCE and the US embassy are carrying out respective work.

“We, too, are working on this matter along the lines of the OSCE,” the Romanian diplomat stressed.

The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down an NKR Air Force helicopter on November 12. The chopper was downed during a training flight, and it crashed on the neutral zone of the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of Contact. As a result, three pilots are believed to have been killed: the commander of the helicopter, Major Sergey Sahakyan, as well as Senior Lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan and Lieutenant Azat Sahakyan. There were no weapons in the chopper. The adversary, on the other hand, continues to fire intensive shots toward the crash site, thus, not allowing access to the area.
