YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani side broke centuries-long tradition of respecting the deceased, president of the House of Representatives of Cyprus said in Yerevan.

“Such behavior is unacceptable,” Yiannakis Omirou said commenting on the incidents with Karabakh helicopter.

The authorities of Cyprus support the position of Armenia and its leadership: the conflict should be settled peacefully within the format of the OSCE Minsk Group.

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.
