The parties to Karabakh conflict must stop shooting, NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs James Appathurai, who is also the Special Representative for Caucasus and Central Asia, wrote on his Twitter page.

“Gravely concerned by cease fire violations in Nagorno-Karabakh. The sides must stop shooting and stabilise the situation,” he wrote.

The adversary has launched outright offensive operations along the Line of Contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces, on late Friday night and early Saturday morning hours, using a variety of weaponry as well as artillery, armored vehicles, and air force. At the moment, the losses of the Azerbaijani armed forces exceed 200.
