YEREVAN. - Conditions for peaceful settlement are necessary for solving any conflicts, even disputes.

Defense Minister of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan stated the aforementioned at a press-conference today.

In his words, the most important condition for the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is the creation of mechanisms of trust on the frontline, i.e. it is necessary to observe the ceasefire, refrain from infiltration attempts and most importantly, create mechanisms for investigating incidents, as well as allow to find out the violators.  

The Minister also noted that the Armenian side has always been for creating such mechanisms, however the Azerbaijani side objects their creation.  “In many cases we held unilateral operations, refraining from responsive fire, carrying out investigations and presenting documents and evidence to the OSCE Minsk Group. We hope that one day the adversary will also realize that it’s hard to achieve settlement without this,” Ohanyan said.
